17 ∙ 10/2010General informationTemperature is a measurement for the thermal state of a material - so a measurement of the average kinetic energy of its molecules
A close thermal contact between two bodies is needed in order that these bodies adopt the same tempera-ture (temperature equalisation)
The body to be measured should be coupled as closely as possible to the temperature sensor system
The most established temperature measurement methods are based on material or body properties that change depend-ing on the temperature
One of the most-used methods is the measurement with a resistance thermometer
