water thermometer
<physics> A thermometer filled with water instead of mercury, for ascertaining the precise temperature at which water attains its maximum density. This is about 39 deg Fahr, or 4 deg Centigrade; and from that point down to 32 deg Fahr, or 0 deg Centigrade, or the freezing point, it expands.
