TEMP MEASUREMENT • Temp is thermal state of body. • It is the property , which tells us the degree of hotness or coldness measured along some temp scale • When a body is heated or cooled, various primary effects result. One of these results may be used for temp measurement • Change in physical state or phase ( solid , liquid and vapour) • Change in physical dimension • Variation in electrical properties • Seebeck effect • Bimetallic strip when heated , it bends in a direction of a metal having low coefficient of expansion • Change in intensity of total radiation emitted (PYROMETER) • Change in temp causes change in volume and Pr of gas
