Engineering and Construction Manual for an Instrument to Make Burn Hazard Measurements in Consumer Products - Softcover
Synopsis
This book details the construction of a thermesthesiometer, a device capable of measuring the temperature humans sense when touching a hot surface. The project of designing and building the thermesthesiometer was initiated by a bureau of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, later transferred to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The author presents several figures, graphs, and tables to aid the prospective builder, including a parts list and instructions for the fabrication of both ribbon and fine-wire type thermocouples. The author also includes several testing methods to verify the instrument's accuracy. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of varying factors on the accuracy of the instrument. The author's work provides not only a valuable instruction manual for constructing a thermesthesiometer but also an accessible introduction to the scientific study of human thermal perception and response, and the potential applications of this knowledge to product safety.
