A metal thermometer is a device used to measure temperature by utilizing the thermal expansion properties of metals. It consists of a metal component that expands or contracts in response to temperature changes, and this movement is converted into a readable temperature value. Metal thermometers are commonly used in industrial settings for their durability, accuracy, and ability to function in harsh environments.

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble is typically not foliated (layered), although there are exceptions. In geology, the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone, but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.
