The measurement scale defined by a perfect gas thermometer was already known to be superior to all others. But because gas thermometers were impractical for everyday use, the task was to determine how closely readings from mercury-in-glass thermometers could match those from gas thermometers. Over a series of experiments, the author thoroughly tested several primary standard mercury-in-glass thermometers, determining how closely their scales reproduced the gas scale. The author's highly precise work helped establish the International Hydrogen Scale of Temperature, which became the standard for temperature measurement for decades and laid the groundwork for even more accurate methods. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
