Excerpt from On the Standard Scale of Temperature in the Interval 0° to 100° C
The advantages resulting from the use of the same standard scale of temperature are of course at once obvious. Only a few years ago, before the introduction of the International Hydrogen Scale, investigators frequently spent far more time in setting up a gas thermometer and establishing a temperature scale to which to refer their measurements than in carrying out their experiments. A familiar illustration is furnished by the classical determinations by Rowland of the mechanical equivalent of heat and the capacity for heat of water. A further great advantage in a single standard scale at once available to every investigator, aside from the great saving in time, is that all measurements expressed on that scale, made by different methods and by different observers, can be compared with one another with the greatest advantage, and outstanding differ ences very often explained. Thus a comparison of the best deter minations of the mechanical equivalent of heat, carried out by me chamical and electrical methods, showed a difference amounting to about I part in 400, and the two methods gave a different variation of the capacity for heat of water with the temperature. When.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details a crucial investigation that established a gold-standard scale for measuring temperature which is still referenced today. The measurement scale defined by a perfect gas thermometer was already known to be superior to all others. But because gas thermometers were impractical for everyday use, the task was to determine how closely readings from mercury-in-glass thermometers could match those from gas thermometers. Over a series of experiments, the author thoroughly tested several primary standard mercury-in-glass thermometers, determining how closely their scales reproduced the gas scale. The author's highly precise work helped establish the International Hydrogen Scale of Temperature, which became the standard for temperature measurement for decades and laid the groundwork for even more accurate methods. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334261244_0
