kink is found in a clinical thermometer . The kink allows the mercury to flow into the capilary tube. Then the thermometer is placed in the patient's mouth to check the temperature.After some times the thermometer is taken out to know the temperature.Due to the presence of the kink the mercury will not flow back easily.Therfore the kink allows to know the correct temperature of the patient.

kink is there in thermometer because when doctor keep in our mouth so when doctors want to see the tempreature so he can see easily because mercury exapands fast when it is heated and it also come done fast so whene kink is there soit will take time to come down so till it come down doctors will see and jerk it so then it willcome down.

You're referring to alcohol or mercury thermometers used to take person's temperature?That constriction slows the flow of the alcohol back into the bulb after the thermometer is removed from your mouth (or elsewhere) so the temperature can be read more accurately. Otherwise the indicated temp would begin to decrease as soon as the bulb is moved to a cooler environment.That why you see the nurse shaking the thermometer down before use, to get all the alcohol back into the bulb so it can re-expand properly before the next use.
