Summary

Chapter Seven presents the thermometers listed below, with their physical principles of operation, properties and applications:

  • 1.
    Quartz thermometers, having digital output, very high precision and long term stability.
  • 2.
    Ultrasonic thermometers, used also for no-sensor media temperature measurement and applied up to 3000°C.
  • 3.
    Noise thermometers, applicable also inside nuclear reactors or at very low temperatures.
  • 4.
    Distributed parameter sensors (continuous parameter sensors) as semiconductor sensors for monitoring temperature of long elements or for signalling any abnormal operation in industrial process installations or warehouses.
