Description
Globe thermometer, TE type K, for radiant heat enables standards-oriented assessment of radiant heat as part of thermal comfort evaluations at the workplace. Thermal comfort strongly influences physical and mental performance, so regular measurement of relevant parameters is essential. Used with a suitable measuring instrument, this globe thermometer determines the radiant-heat component in a reproducible way. A large temperature difference between room air and globe temperature can indicate strong solar radiation through windows or other radiant sources. The hollow sphere has a diameter of 150 mm and contains a thermocouple type K at its centre for temperature sensing. Manufactured by Testo, the unit is intended for occupational hygiene, building services and laboratory climate studies. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,803 kg, it provides a dedicated sensor for radiant-temperature measurement where globe temperature must be recorded alongside other comfort parameters.
This article is part of Temperature probes & sensors, in Temperature measurement.

Questions about Globe thermometer, TC type K, for, radiant heat
What is this article?
Globe thermometer, TC type K, for, radiant heat is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Testo for laboratory use. It sits in Temperature probes & sensors, inside Temperature measurement, in Lab instruments.
A temperature probe is the sensor, Pt100, thermocouple or thermistor, that a meter or a logger reads. The probe, not the display, is what is calibrated. The sheath material and the response time matter in a liquid versus a block.
A thermometer reports a temperature. A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a calibrated column. A digital thermometer is a sensor and a display, and the sensor, not the display, is what is calibrated. An infrared thermometer reads a surface and depends on emissivity. A data logger stores the reading over time. Without a stated uncertainty and a calibration point, the number is only an indication. The scale is maintained by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET. Accreditation is BELAC.
