Ergebnis
Thermometeranzeige -°C
Anzeigekorrektion - °C
Messunsicherheit - °C
Fehlergrenze - °C
Bemerkungen:
Die der Thermometeranzeige entsprechende Temperatur ergibt sich nach der Beziehung: Temperatur = Thermometeranzeige + Anzeigekorrektion
Die Anzeigekorrektionen gelten für senkrechte Stellung des Thermometers,
den Luftdruck 1013,25 hPa,
unter der Voraussetzung, dass das Thermometer einschließlich der Fadenkuppe, aber ausschließlich der Expansionserweiterung eintaucht.
Wenn das Thermometer nicht ganz eintauchend benutzt wird, ist die Thermometeranzeige durch Anbringen einer Fadenkorrektion zu berichtigen.
Die Werte sind auf die ITS-90 bezogen.

Paula, I doubt this is right. The other two answers are probably better. I'd recommend you ask your client, especially as "Fadenkuppe" only gets about 10 hits.

: Meniscus? Hardly. Wouldn't make much sense here, IMO. // meniscus = the curved upper surface of a liquid column./// On 2nd thought you might be right, it would make sense. Strange source term, though. And the Kuppe (upwards) to me suggests it's indeed Hg.

: agree with your first defn. of meniscus, but where's the evidence that Flüssigkeitsspiegel = Fadenkuppe? // OK, fair enough. Pity there are so few references/hits for the source term.

I don't have one myself, but Paraminski has the perfect reference below.
