Whether your background is engineering, procurement, or maintenance, this comprehensive book will help you achieve good performance with thermocouples. Building on the first edition, authors Tom Kerlin and Mitch Johnson have updated the second edition of Practical Thermocouple Thermometry to include the latest in thermocouple technology. They called upon their 60 plus years of collective experience in theory, research, teaching, manufacturing and real-world applications to produce this second edition. Updates include:
-
real-world case studies demonstrating solutions of thermocouple problems
-
properties and performance of all commonly used thermocouple types
-
innovative applications of thermocouples
-
expanded information on thermowell selection for required reliability
