Editorial Review:
The accurate measurement of temperature is a vital parameter in many fields. A critically important aspect of applying any temperature sensor is that of traceable calibration - a concept that has been developed to ensure that all measurements made are accurate and legally valid.
This timely new edition reflects the marked move towards ISO accreditation in measurement laboratories internationally, and the ever increasing emphasis on adequate uncertainty analysis for measurements in accredited laboratories to conform to national and international bodies, and the SI and Metric treaty.
* Fully revised and updated to incorporate the latest trends and developments in measurements and calibration
* Provides information concurrent with the latest ISO Quality Standards for assessing the uncertainty of measurement sensors
* Offers detailed converage of traceability, how to make traceable measurements and how to design, carry out and report calibration
* Unique emphasis on possible problems in the field, and provision of practical advice on how to recognise and treat errors.
An essential reference resource for practising and training engineers, scientists and technicians in accredited test and calibration laboratories involved in temperature measurement and calibration.

Huge reference & intro, very well written.  2005-03-24
Wow, this is an amazing book. It covers precision temperature measurement in an authoritative way, and provides background material like measurement science and statistics. This includes by far the best discussion of thermocouples of the many I have read, and I will never feel blissful again when using them. The discussion on platinum resistance thermometry is thorough and most insightful, including excellent coverage of electrical resistance measurement. I am going through the book now and section after section is far exceeding my expectations.
The book also talks about traceability and other tactical issues relating to calibration, accreditation, and so forth. I am not much interested in these things, and can say there is not so much here as to put me off.
The authors (D. R. White [...] speak from a New Zealand perspective, but this rarely seems noticeable, even though things like standards organizations are somewhat different around the world.
This is not a quick intro to every possible way of measureing temperature. It's a deep and authoritative intro to several leading accurate ways.
all you want to know about temperature calibration 2001-06-17
This one book covers alot of ground in enought detail to keep most of us happy...I havent found a single source which covers all the main bases this well.
Informative book - wider than title implies  2000-04-28
This book not only covers temperature trace ability but also covers subjects like how a temperature sensor's construction will affect the long-term stability of measurements. However information about how the associated measurement equipment is constructed and how it affects the long-term temperature measurement stability is not thoroughly discussed.Some parts of the trace ability aspect are limited, for example, how error tolerance build up affects the finial specs, which can be claimed. Good introductory book, easy to read.
