Temperature Gradient Measurement

Temperature gradient measurement involves assessing how temperature changes across a specific distance within a material or environment. It helps identify variations in heat or thermal energy, essential for understanding heat flow, efficiency, or safety. Typically, multiple temperature sensors are placed at different points, and the differences between their readings are used to calculate how temperature shifts over space. Accurate measurement of these gradients is important in many fields, from engineering to environmental science, as it informs decisions about insulation, material performance, or process control.
