Volume 1 of the Handbook of Temperature Measurement, prepared by the CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory, Australia, details the principles and techniques involved in the measurement of humidity, in cryogenic and radiation thermometry and a variety of unconventional methods of temperature measurement. Other topics considered are thermal conductivity and the traceability of measurement. Authors in this volume include Mark J. Ballico, Edwin C. Morris, Gary Rosengarten, Anna Schneider, Glenda Sandars, Laurie M. Besley, Jeffrey Tapping, and Anthony J. Farmer.

Excerpt from Methods of Measuring Temperature The present volume is written for those concerned with the measure ment of temperature, whether in scientific investigations or in the control of industrial operations. Attention has been devoted chiefly to the experimental basis of the methods in general use, the calibration of the instruments, and the precautions which must be observed in practice. While the volume is complete. In itself, it is assumed that the reader is conversant with the fundamental principles of physics, and the aim has been to extend the general treatment given in standard text-books, such as those Of Poynting and Thomson.
