  2. Bathythermograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathythermograph

    The bathythermograph, or BT, also known as the Mechanical Bathythermograph, or MBT; [1] is a device that holds a temperature sensor and a transducer to detect changes in water temperature versus depth down to a depth of approximately 285 meters (935 feet).

  3. Clay mineral X-ray diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Mineral_X-Ray_Diffraction

    Typically, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an average of randomly oriented microcrystals that should equally represent all crystal orientation if a large enough sample is present. X-rays are directed at the sample while slowly rotated that produce a diffraction pattern that shows intensity of x-rays collected at different angles. Randomly ...

  4. X-ray diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_diffraction

    The resulting map of the directions of the X-rays far from the sample is called a diffraction pattern. It is different from X-ray crystallography which exploits X-ray diffraction to determine the arrangement of atoms in materials, and also has other components such as ways to map from experimental diffraction measurements to the positions of atoms.

  5. Wide-angle X-ray scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-angle_X-ray_scattering

    It is an X-ray-diffraction [2] method and commonly used to determine a range of information about crystalline materials. The term WAXS is commonly used in polymer sciences to differentiate it from SAXS but many scientists doing "WAXS" would describe the measurements as Bragg/X-ray/powder diffraction or crystallography.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    Pyrometers principle: temperature dependence of spectral intensity of light (Planck's law), i.e. the color of the light relates to the temperature of its source, range: from about −50 °C to +4000 °C, note: measurement of thermal radiation (instead of thermal conduction, or thermal convection) means: no physical contact becomes necessary in ...

  8. Illite crystallinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illite_crystallinity

    The Kübler index is experimentally determined by measuring the full width at half maximum for the X-ray diffraction reflection peak along the crystallographic axis of the rock sample. [3] This value is an indirect measurement of the thickness of illite / muscovite packets which denote a change in metamorphic grade.

  9. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    A medical/clinical thermometer showing the temperature of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F) Temperature measurement (also known as thermometry) describes the process of measuring a current temperature for immediate or later evaluation. Datasets consisting of repeated standardized measurements can be used to assess temperature trends.
