  2. Fiber-optical thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optical_thermometer

    The principle of operation is based on the temperature dependence of the bandgap of GaAs. The GaAs crystal fixed on the tip of the fibre will be transparent at a wavelength above 850 nm. The position of the band edge is temperature-dependent and is shifted about 0.4 nm/K. The light is directed via the optical fibre to the crystal, where it is ...

  3. Indoor–outdoor thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor–outdoor_thermometer

    The primary purpose of the indoor-outdoor thermometer is to allow the outside temperature to be indicated inside a building, thus removing the need to go outside to take a temperature reading. They are also used in vehicles, and are particularly useful for municipal vehicles involved in snow and ice clearance. [ 5 ]

  5. Gas meter prover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_meter_prover

    A gas meter prover is a device to verify the accuracy of a gas meter. Provers are typically used in gas meter repair facilities, municipal gas meter shops, and public works shops. Provers work by passing a known volume of air through a meter, while monitoring the gas meter's register, index, or internal displacement.

  6. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

    When the temperature of a surface is accurately known (e.g. by measuring with a contact thermometer), then the sensor's emissivity setting can be adjusted until the temperature measurement by the IR method matches the measured temperature by the contact method; the emissivity setting will indicate the emissivity of the surface, which can be ...

  7. 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.

  8. Mean radiant temperature - Wikipedia

    A handheld wet-bulb globe temperature meter, including a black-globe thermometer (left). The MRT can be estimated using a black-globe thermometer.The black-globe thermometer consists of a black globe in the center of which is placed a temperature sensor such as the bulb of a mercury thermometer, a thermocouple or a resistance probe.
