What is the instrument used to measure tem?
thermometer
A thermometer is a device used for measuring temperature.
Which of the following is used in Pyro thermometer?
Modern pyrometers or infrared thermometers also measure the temperature of cooler objects, down to room temperature, by detecting their infrared radiation flux.
How can temp be measured?
There are 4 ways to take (measure) a temperature:
- Under the armpit (axillary method)
- In the mouth (oral method)
- In the ear (tympanic method)
- In the rectum/bum (rectal method)
What is the two instrument used to measure temperature?
thermometers
Pyrometer. Langmuir probes (for electron temperature of a plasma) Infrared thermometer. Other thermometers.
Which metal is used in thermometer?
Mercury
Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature. It’s used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion. Hence, the slightest change in temperature is notable when it’s used in a thermometer. It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures.
Where is pyrometer used?
Pyrometer, the device for measuring relatively high temperatures, such as are encountered in furnaces. Most pyrometers work by measuring radiation from the body whose temperature is to be measured.
What is a pyrometer used for?
A pyrometer is an instrument that measures temperature remotely, i.e. by measuring radiation from the object, without having to be in contact.
What are the different units to measure temperature?
The most common scales are the Celsius scale (formerly called centigrade, denoted as °C), the Fahrenheit scale (denoted as °F), and the Kelvin scale (denoted as K), the last of which is predominantly used for scientific purposes by conventions of the International System of Units (SI).
