The procedures described herein are intended for use in testing heating, refrigerating, and air-conditioning equipment and components. The media in which temperature measurements are made include air, water, brine, and volatile or nonvolatile refrigerants, under both steady-state and transient temperature conditions between -40ºF and 400ºF (-40ºC and 204ºC).

PURPOSE

The purpose of this standard is to set forth recommended practices for temperature measurements and provide adequate and consistent measurement procedures for reference in other standards.
