  2. International Temperature Scale of 1990 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Temperature...

    The International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) is an equipment calibration standard specified by the International Committee of Weights and Measures (CIPM) for making measurements on the Kelvin and Celsius temperature scales. It is an approximation of thermodynamic temperature that facilitates the comparability and compatibility of ...

  3. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Rømer scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rømer_scale

    Rømer also told Fahrenheit that demand for accurate thermometers was high. [2]: 4 The visit ignited a keen interest in Fahrenheit to try to improve thermometers. [3]: 71 By 1713, Fahrenheit was creating his own thermometers with a scale heavily borrowed from Rømer that ranged from 0 to 24 degrees but with each degree divided into quarters.

  7. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    Resistance thermometers, ... calibration must be performed at temperatures other than 0 °C and 100 °C. This is necessary to meet calibration requirements ...

  8. Calibration curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration_curve

    A calibration curve plot showing limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), dynamic range, and limit of linearity (LOL).. In analytical chemistry, a calibration curve, also known as a standard curve, is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration.

  9. Garnet-biotite geothermometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garnet-biotite_geothermometry

    The garnet biotite thermometer correlates temperature with the partitioning of Fe and Mg in coinciding garnet and biotite. [1] The garnet-biotite thermometer has been "calibrated" many times since the 1970s by both experimental and empirical methods, however Ferry and Spear's 1978 experimental calibration study [ 2 ] is reported thoroughly and ...
