BIBLIOGRAPHY

The purpose of this bibliography is to provide the reader with guidance to the vast literature on the topic of temperature. This bibliography is by no means complete. Its intent is to put the reader in touch with the literature that is both readily available and extensive enough for all but the most state-of-the-art needs in the field.

Paper copies of NIST publications are available on request from: andrea.swiger@nist.gov

 

TABLE OF CONTENTS AND DEFINITIONS

A. TEMPERATURE SCALES

Temperature scales provide the background for all other references in this bibliography.

B. TEXTBOOKS

We define textbooks as those books which treat the major areas in thermometry in a tutorial way at an advanced or elementary level.

A. TEMPERATURE SCALES

The International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) came into effect on 1 January 1990. The ITS-90 extends upward from 0.65 K and it supersedes the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968, Amended Edition of 1975 [IPTS-68(75)], and also The 1976 Provisional 0.5 K to 30 K Temperature Scale (EPT-76). The ITS-90 is the most recent descendent of earlier temperature scales. Their history is summarized in reference 1 below. The principal references to the ITS-90 are:
