  2. Mercury-in-glass thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-in-glass_thermometer

    In order to calibrate the thermometer, the bulb is made to reach thermal equilibrium with a temperature standard such as an ice/water mixture, and then with another standard such as water/vapour, and the tube is divided into regular intervals between the fixed points.

  3. Paleothermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleothermometer

    The isotopic ratio of 18 O to 16 O, usually in foram tests or ice cores. High values mean low temperatures. Confounded by ice volume - more ice means higher δ 18 O values. Ocean water is mostly H 2 16 O, with small amounts of HD 16 O and H 2 18 O. In Standard Mean Ocean Water (SMOW) the ratio of D to H is 155.8 × 10 −6 and 18 O/ 16 O is ...

  4. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    A common fixed-point calibration method for industrial-grade probes is the ice bath. The equipment is inexpensive, easy to use, and can accommodate several sensors at once. The ice point is designated as a secondary standard because its accuracy is ±0.005 °C (±0.009 °F), compared to ±0.001 °C (±0.0018 °F) for primary fixed points.

  5. Frigorific mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigorific_mixture

    A frigorific mixture may be used to obtain a liquid medium that has a reproducible temperature below ambient temperature. Such mixtures were used to calibrate thermometers. In chemistry a cooling bath may be used to control the temperature of a strongly exothermic reaction. A frigorific mixture may be used as an alternative to mechanical ...

  6. Thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

    A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature; and (2) some means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury ...

  7. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    Attempts at standardized temperature measurement prior to the 17th century were crude at best. For instance in 170 AD, physician Claudius Galenus [1]: 18 mixed equal portions of ice and boiling water to create a "neutral" temperature standard. The modern scientific field has its origins in the works by Florentine scientists in the 1600s ...

  8. Cooling bath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooling_bath

    A bath of ice and water will maintain a temperature 0 °C, since the melting point of water is 0 °C. However, adding a salt such as sodium chloride will lower the temperature through the property of freezing-point depression. Although the exact temperature can be hard to control, the weight ratio of salt to ice influences the temperature:

  9. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    Scale of temperature is a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology.Empirical scales measure temperature in relation to convenient and stable parameters or reference points, such as the freezing and boiling point of water.
