This work is the only comprehensive survey of methods for pressure measurement in gaseous media used in the medium-to-low pressure range closely connected with thermometry. It assembles current information on thermometry and manometry that involve the use of gaseous substances and that are likely to be valid methods for the future. As such, it is an important resource for the researcher.
This edition is updated through the very latest scientific and technical developments of gas-based temperature and pressure measurements using thermometry and manometry, and brings all of the techniques together under one cover.  This book fills the gap in international literature, as no other recently published book provides a comprehensive survey for gaseous media closely connected with thermometry.
Updates in this new edition include revised appendices and new chapters on Mutual Recognition Agreement and its main applications, and developments in the European Metrology Society.
