Traceable Temperatures: An Introduction to Temperature Measurement and Calibration

Traceable Temperatures: An Introduction to Temperature Measurement and Calibration, 9780471492917 (0471492914), John Wiley & Sons, 2001

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.

Evaluates the changes in the agreed legal scale used to calibrate thermometers. Takes the definition of traceability as its starting point to explain how faulty temperature readings can be avoided if readers follow recognized procedures. Demonstrates how to ensure accuracy of thermometers. Quality concepts and modern instrument practice are emphasized and radiation thermometry explained. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Your Money or Your Life

William Morrow, 2005

I try not to distinguish between business news and general news. To me, the two are the same . . .

Over the quarter century I've been doing this -- first in print, then in broadcasting, then in print and broadcasting -- I'm amazed at how many people seem to believe that if it's about Wall Street, it's not about Main Street.
