MeasurementTemperature is a fundamental quantity.Zeroth law of thermodynamics denestemperature
Temperature could be dened asThe degree of hotness or coldness of a body o
an environment measured on a denite scale

5 Non ElectricalMethods
Temperature measurement based on
Change in the physical state
Change in chemical properties
Change in physical properties(f these one of mostly used instrument is thebimetallic thermometer
The principle of measurement is the physical
change i.e. elongation or contraction of bimetallistrip when calibrated.

The tachometer3 or tach3 is an instrument thatindicates the
speed of the cranshaft of a reciprocating engine.
,t can be a direct% or remote%indicating instrumen
(n reciprocating engines3 the tach is used tomonitor engine power and to ensure the engine isoperated within certied limits.

:C generator mounted to a reciprocating engine;gear case or the accessory drive section of aturbine engine.
:s the engine turns3 so does the generator.
The frequency output of the generator is directlyproportional to the speed of the engine.
,t is connected via wires to a synchronous motorin the indicator that mirrors this output.
: drag cup3 or drag dis lin3 is used to drive theindicator as in a mechanical tachometer.
