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."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a practical, absolute method of thermometry based on hydrogen as the standard. Building on the work of others before him, the author presents a detailed discussion of experimental methods, manipulation, sources of error, and attainable precision. He encourages students to carefully study the provided notes before performing experiments, as preparation is essential for successful work in the physical laboratory. Rather than focusing on theory, deduction of formulae, etc., this book emphasizes experimental methods and the nature of glass best suited for constructing thermometers that can withstand high temperatures without change. Thermometers of various ranges are discussed, along with sources of error and necessary corrections. The author also discusses air thermometry of ordinary precision and provides problems at the end of each experiment to test student understanding. The author's scientific study of the characteristics of glass suitable for constructing thermometers has led to improvements in the field and his work is considered a standard reference for precision thermometry.
