Description
'Practical Temperature Measurement' introduces the concepts of temperature and its measurement to engineers, physicists and chemists of
all disciplines. The author describes the wide range of techniques and specific devices available for temperature measurement and provides
guidance for the selection of a particular method for a given application. It is of value to engineering and physics postgraduates studying
modules on instrumentation and process control and, in addition, for practical project work requiring an understanding of temperature
measurement methods.
For postgraduates and industrialists faced with the task of selecting a particular measurement method or sensor
for an experiment, product or process, this text provides both thorough descriptions of the various techniques, as well as guidance for
their selection.
Audience:
Postgraduate and professional engineers of all disciplines. Physicists and industrial chemists.
