Your reference work for metrological professions
The table book “Temperature” is a reference work for all those working in metrological professions or undergoing training and studies.
As a metrologist and engineer, I have compiled this table book with a focus on temperature to provide you with precise and up-to-date information on temperature measurements and temperature calibrations.
The table book “Temperature” originally evolved from a collection of formulas that I began to compile during my studies and which has continuously grown. Initially, I used the table book in my daily laboratory work, and it served as support and assistance for the participants in my seminars. Due to numerous requests, I finally decided to publish my formula collection as a book.
It supports you in your daily work in temperature measurement technology and provides you with numerous tables, equations, and graphs for reference.
A brief insight into the table book “Temperature”
The five main chapters of my table book cover the following topic areas.
