Temperature Measurement

Temperature measurement is the process of quantifying how hot or cold an object or environment is. It is typically done using tools called thermometers, which detect thermal energy and convert it into a measurable reading, often in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Different methods include sensing physical properties like expansion (liquid-in-glass thermometers), electrical resistance (thermistors), or infrared radiation (infrared thermometers). Accurate temperature measurement is essential in various fields, from cooking and weather forecasting to industrial processes and healthcare, ensuring safety, quality, and proper functioning of systems.
