Temperature Metrology and Its Impact on Industry
HRATCH G. SEMERJIAN · AIP conference proceedings · 2003
On the occasion of the 8th International Temperature Symposium, we present a brief overview of the impact on industry of temperature metrology conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), other national metrology institutes (NMIs), and industrial laboratories. A number of historical examples from the past hundred years illustrate the process of research, development, and commercialization of new technologies for temperature measurement and control. Several promising directions of future research are also discussed.
