Master the science of temperature measurement with a classic reference that covers the theory, calibration, and practical use of key instruments.
This volume surveys foundational methods and the modern techniques that have shaped precise temperature determination in science and industry. It explains how gas and electrical scales relate to the fundamental temperature scale, how to calibrate instruments, and what errors to expect in real-world work. The work also surveys the construction and use of pyrometers, thermocouples, resistance thermometers, and mercury thermometers, with emphasis on accuracy over a wide range—from subzero to very high temperatures.
Readers will find clear explanations of the experimental basis for the methods in wide use, the corrections needed for reliable readings, and the relationship between different scales of temperature. Although designed for professionals, the book aims to help anyone involved in precise temperature work understand the foundations, limitations, and practical steps for effective measurement.
- Foundations of the gas and platinum (resistance) thermometer scales and how they interrelate
- Calibration techniques, error analysis, and practical precautions for high- and low-temperature work
- Detailed treatment of mercurial thermometers, resistance types, thermocouples, and radiation pyrometers
- Discussion of standard temperatures, fundamental scales, and their industrial applications
Ideal for scientists and engineers who rely on accurate temperature readings in research or production environments.
