Temperature: Its Measurement and Control in Science and Industry
1941
This 1941 volume is one of the earliest comprehensive collections of scientific and engineering work on temperature measurement and control. It compiles papers from a major symposium focused on advancing thermometry and thermal regulation in both laboratory and industrial settings.
The book addresses the fundamental principles of temperature, including thermodynamic definitions and the establishment of temperature scales. It places strong emphasis on the accuracy and standardization of temperature measurement, which was critical for scientific research and industrial processes in the early 20th century.
Key topics include:
Development and calibration of temperature scales and fixed points
Measurement techniques using thermocouples, resistance thermometers, and optical (radiation) pyrometers
Instrumentation design and precision limitations
Methods for measuring extreme temperatures (both high-temperature industrial furnaces and low-temperature systems)
Early approaches to temperature control in manufacturing and experimental environments
The volume reflects the technological context of the time, focusing on improving measurement reliability and consistency across different industries such as metallurgy, chemical processing, and physics research.
