TITLE: Temperature Measurement , 2nd Edition
AUTHOR: Ludwig Michalski
PUBDATE: 30/09/01
BINDING: Cloth
PRICE: £100.00
DESCRIPTION:
The accurate measurement of temperature is a vital parameter in
many fields. This comprehensive reference combines both the theory
and practice of temperature measurement.
Responding to emerging trends in the field, this fully updated second
edition includes new material on noise thermometers, the development
of photoelectric and two-wavelength pyrometers and the latest IEC standards.
- Fully revised and updated to incorporate the latest achievements
in measurement
- Coverage includes fibre optic thermometers, imaging of temperature
fields and temperature measurement in hazardous areas.
- Includes imaging of temperature fields, virtual instruments, fuzzy logic
in temperature measurement and new methods for thermometer calibration
- Brand new chapters on computerized temperature measuring systems
and temperature measurement in medicine
Practising temperature measurement engineers working in industry, as well
as postgraduates and researchers would find this to be an invaluable resource,
due to the balance between the examination of the theory of temperature
measurement and an in depth discussion of the industry applications.
