Temperature measurement in the jewelry industry requires some special knowledge of thermometers, thermocouples, and pyrometers. Thermostors and infrared pyrometers are also discussed. In temperature measuring, what devices are used, and how to maintain the efficiency of temperature measuring and controlling systems, are presented.

This paper includes specific suggestions for temperature measurement when vulcanizing rubber, injecting wax, investing, burnout, annealing gold and silver and melting jewelry metals for casting.
