Under some conditions heat from the measuring instrument can cause a temperature gradient, so the measured temperature is different from the actual temperature of the system. In such a case the measured temperature will vary not only with the temperature of the system, but also with the heat transfer properties of the system.
An ideal gas barometer may be constructed by mechanically connecting an ideal gas to the system being measured, while thermally insulating it. The volume will then measure pressure, by the ideal gas equation P = NkT/V. Calorimeter – a device which measures the heat energy added to a system. [4]
Air temperature results ranged from 101 degrees at Desert Sky Mall to 111 degrees at the Burnidge Soup Kitchen on Osborn Road, all at about the same moment in urban environments within the valley.
The weighed reactant put inside the steel container is then ignited. Energy is released by the combustion and heat flow from this crosses the stainless steel wall, thus raising the temperature of the steel bomb, its contents, and the surrounding water jacket. The temperature change in the water is then accurately measured with a thermometer.
the heat of air in winter at which water begins to freeze. This point may be accurately determined by pressing the thermometer into melting snow. 0,1,2: the heats of air in winter 2,3,4: the heats of air in spring and autumn 4,5,6: the heat of air in summer 6: the heat at midday about the month of July 12: 1
Temperature at the sensors varies depending upon the mass flow. Thermal mass flow meters, also known as thermal dispersion or immersible mass flow meters, comprise a family of instruments for the measurement of the total mass flow rate of a fluid, primarily gases, flowing through closed conduits. A second type is the capillary-tube type of ...
The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

A pneumatic thermostat is a thermostat that controls a heating or cooling system via a series of air-filled control tubes. This "control air" system responds to the pressure changes (due to temperature) in the control tube to activate heating or cooling when required.
