Practical Thermocouple Thermometry

Though millions of thermocouples are used by process industries throughout the world, the basic principles of thermocouple thermometry are often not well understood by the people who install and operate them. This book gives readers a resource for selecting, installing, and using devices after only a few days of study. Drawing on original research, along with a broad knowledge of other literature in the field, the author presents a rich hands-on approach to the subject of thermocouple thermometry, while staying focused on those aspects of the subject most applicable to industry.
