From the Publisher

Balancing the practical and theoretical, the authors analyze the different temperature measurements, methods, instruments and sources of error. Places special stress on problems such as temperature measurement of solids and gases, temperature measurement in industrial heating appliances as well as conditions and transmitters of temperature signals. The International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) is introduced and described in detail. Also offers a multitude of numerical examples, tables and diagrams that provide assistance in choosing and implementing the temperature measuring system best suited for a particular application. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
