Thermometry is the process of measuring temperature. It can also refer to the science of making or using thermometers. Thermometry is based on the principle that solids and liquids expand with temperature. Thermometers use the thermometric property of a material to measure temperature. Thermometric property is the physical property of a thermometer that changes measurably with temperature. For example, a thermometer lamp immersed in a solution causes mercury to rise. The increase in mercury is then studied on a temperature scale. There are many types of thermometers, including: Glass in... Show more Thermometry is the process of measuring temperature.

There are many types of thermometers, including: Glass in a tube Thermistor Thermocouple Radiation thermometer The fundamental principles of thermometry are: High thermal expansion Low thermal expansion No thermal expansion Law of conservation of heat Law of heat transfer Law of heat equilibrium Metallography is the study of the physical structure and components of metals and alloys. It involves observing and determining the chemical and atomic structure of metallic alloys. Pyrometry is a method of measuring temperature by recording the thermal radiation emitted by surfaces. A pyrometer, or "radiation thermometer", records these temperature radiations as point-like information. Show less
