Temperature and Temperature Measurement, Part 1

Accurate and reliable temperature measuring instruments help industrial facilities operate with maximum safety and efficiency. An understanding of how temperature measuring devices operate depends on an understanding of the concept of temperature and the ways in which solids, liquids, and gases respond to temperature changes. This course is intended to introduce technicians to the principles of operation and some common maintenance procedures related to the three basic types of mechanical thermometers: fluid thermometers, filled system thermometers, and bimetallic thermometers.
