Volume 2 of the Handbook of Temperature Measurement, prepared by the CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory, Australia, discusses the operation, calibration and usage of resistance and liquid-in-glass thermometers. Both standard-platinum-resistance thermometers and industrial-resistance thermometers are examined, and details on a variety of resistance-measuring techniques are given. Also included is a final version of the official text of the International Temperature Scale 1990 (ITS-90). The authors of this volume are John J. Connolly and E. Corina Horrigan.
Thermometers are so important in our daily lives. We consult them to know how to dress before going outside. We check our temperature when we think were sick. We even use thermometers when were cooking and baking in the kitchen. Thermometers are everywhere, but theyre also important tools of science. In this engaging volume, with the aid of appealing photographs and an instructive activity, readers will learn how scientists of all ages use thermometers and how they can, too.
