Master the art and science of temperature measurement with practical, hands‑on experiments.

This edition guides you through core concepts in thermometry and calorimetry, focusing on mercurial and air thermometers and their calibration for ordinary precision work.

The book explains how different methods measure temperature, how to choose the right instrument for a given range, and how to assess accuracy and error. It also covers equipment setup, careful data collection, and the calculations that turn measurements into meaningful heat data. Clear instructions and real‑world lab scenarios help you apply theory to actual experiments.

Foundations of thermometry, including hydrogen and platinum devices
Calibration points, accuracy, and the impact of fixed points on readings
Calorimetry setup, measurement of heat with water and calorimeters
Identifying and correcting common sources of error in temperature and heat measurements

Ideal for readers building practical skills in heat measurement, calibration, and data reduction, from students to professionals.
