Default A use for a stethosccope

To set the thermostatic radiator valves.

With the room at the desired temp, listen to the flow of water through the
valve with the stethoscope. Slowly turn the valve down until you hear it
just come to a stop.

I find that about 1/10 of the rotation between the numbered divisions is
significant.
