This method is for the determination of temperature in drinking, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. Temperature measurements may be made with any good grade of mercury-filled or dial type centigrade thermometer, or a thermistor. Measurement device should be routinely checked against a precision thermometer certified by the National Bureau of Standards.
Precision and accuracy for this method have not been determined.
