Temperature Measurement

Covers units in thermal measurement and operation of RTDs (and wheatstone bridges), thermistors, and thermocouples and thermometers. Includes principles of pyrometry and operation of narrowband, broadband, and bandpass pyrometers. Discusses calibration standards, typical calibrating methods, and instrument testing. This course has no prerequisites. Temperature Measurement is available in online technical training and course manual formats. Lesson 1 - Temperature Measurement Principles and Indicators Topics: Temperature and temperature scales; Heat; Change of state; Measuring instruments; Color change and melting point indicators Learning Objectives: – Define thermal energy and explain the relationships among thermal energy, heat, and temperature in a substance. – Correlate changes in temperature with changes in a substance's physical state. – Compare four temperature scales, and convert temperature readings from one scale to another. – Exp
