  2. Thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

    A thermometer is a device that measures temperature (the hotness or coldness of an object) or temperature gradient (the rates of change of temperature in space). A ...

  3. Heat meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_meter

    A heat meter, thermal energy meter or energy meter is a device which measures thermal energy provided by a source or delivered to a sink, by measuring the flow rate of the heat transfer fluid and the change in its temperature between the outflow and return legs of the system.

  4. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    Such thermometers are usually calibrated so that one can read the temperature simply by observing the level of the fluid in the thermometer. Another type of thermometer that is not really used much in practice, but is important from a theoretical standpoint, is the gas thermometer. Other important devices for measuring temperature include:

  5. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Temperature determines the statistical occupation of the microstates of the ensemble. The microscopic definition of temperature is only meaningful in the thermodynamic limit, meaning for large ensembles of states or particles, to fulfill the requirements of the statistical model. Kinetic energy is also considered as a component of thermal energy.

  6. Thermowell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermowell

    A temperature sensor, such as a thermometer, thermocouple, or resistance temperature detector, is inserted in the open end of the tube, which is usually in the open air outside the piping or vessel and any thermal insulation. Thermodynamically, the process fluid transfers heat to the thermowell wall, which in turn transfers heat to the sensor ...

  7. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

    A sailor checking the temperature of a ventilation system. Some typical circumstances are where the object to be measured is moving; where the object is surrounded by an electromagnetic field, as in induction heating; where the object is contained in a vacuum or another controlled atmosphere; or in applications where a fast response is required, the accurate surface temperature is desired or ...

  8. Thermal mass flow meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass_flow_meter

    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 ...

  9. Six's thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six's_thermometer

    The thermometer shows a reading at the top of the mercury section on both the maximum and minimum scales; this shows the current temperature and should be the same on both scales. If the two readings are not the same, then the instrument scales are not correctly positioned or the instrument is damaged.
