Temperature measurement taken to extremes

Abstract

Discusses the various sensors that can be used to measure temperatures at the high and low extremes of industrial processes. These include: mechanical sensors such as bimetal and expanding liquid thermometers; electrical sensors including resistance, thermistors, thermocouples and semiconductor; and optical pyrometers. Also describes the error effects that can be experienced and how these can be overcome.
