BS 791:1990

This standard BS 791:1990 Specification for solid-stem calorimeter thermometers is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.200.20 Temperature-measuring instruments

This British Standard specifies requirements for a series of short-range solid-stem thermometers for use in bomb calorimetry and for other purposes where an accurate measurement of a change of temperature is required. The thermometers are not provided with auxiliary scales at 0 °C and are therefore not suited to the absolute measurement of temperature (which is not normally required in calorimetry) unless they are checked against a standard thermometer immediately before use.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
