    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    Pyrometers principle: temperature dependence of spectral intensity of light (Planck's law), i.e. the color of the light relates to the temperature of its source, range: from about −50 °C to +4000 °C, note: measurement of thermal radiation (instead of thermal conduction, or thermal convection) means: no physical contact becomes necessary in ...

  3. Boyce MotoMeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyce_motometer

    The Boyce MotoMeter was patented in 1912, and was used in automobiles to show the temperature of the radiator. From then through the late 1920s, the Boyce MotoMeter Company in Long Island City , New York, founded in 1912 by the German immigrant Hermann Schlaich , manufactured different models which varied in size and design.

    Internationally agreed temperature scales are designed to approximate this closely, based on fixed points and interpolating thermometers. The most recent official temperature scale is the International Temperature Scale of 1990. It extends from 0.65 K (−272.5 °C; −458.5 °F) to approximately 1,358 K (1,085 °C; 1,985 °F).

  7. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    The simplest resistance-thermometer configuration uses two wires. It is only used when high accuracy is not required, as the resistance of the connecting wires is added to that of the sensor, leading to errors of measurement. This configuration allows use of 100 meters of cable. This applies equally to balanced bridge and fixed bridge system.

  8. 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.

  9. Thermocouple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

    The thermocouple temperature is limited also by other materials used. For example beryllium oxide, a popular material for high temperature applications, tends to gain conductivity with temperature; a particular configuration of sensor had the insulation resistance dropping from a megaohm at 1000 K to 200 ohms at 2200 K. At high temperatures ...
