13.9 TEMPERATURE
· Temperature is of significant concern in most disciplines.
- fine temperature measurements 0-100 deg C - e.g. science/laboratory work
- high temperature measurements <3000 deg F - e.g. metal refining/processing
- low temperature measurement 0--60 deg C - e.g. freezers
- very low temperatures <-60 deg C - e.g. superconductors in MRI units
- very high temperatures > 2000 deg C - e.g. fusion research
