Abstract

THE adequate control of temperature is of fundamental importance in nearly all branches of science, and there are numerous applications in industrial and technical fields. Courses of study and text-books for students of physics, chemistry, engineering and metallurgy, invariably include, in the heat section, a discussion of the methods of temperature measurement ; but, in general, the treatment is too brief and inadequate. The practical difficulties inherent in all thermal measurements are very rarely appreciated, and insufficient regard is paid to the necessity of a correct choice of instrument and method for the temperature or temperature-difference measurement. Methods of Measuring Temperature By Dr. Ezer Griffiths. Third edition, revised and reset. Pp. x + 223. (London: Charles Griffin and Co., Ltd., 1947.) 20s. net.
