What is temperature compensation? How is temperature used in
instrumentation?

Answer:

Temperature compensation is an adjustment to instrument
readings to account for known physical changes due to
temperature.

Temperature and pressure compensation to a differential
pressure measurement can produce an inferred mass flow rate
measurement, rather than a volumetric flow rate.

Most high end instruments have internal temperature
compensation that affects the measurement that is reported,
for instance, DP transmitters measure pressure body
temperature and electronic body temperature.

Fuel storage tanks will measure temperature gradient from
the top to the bottom of a tank and calculate volume and
mass adjustments accordingly, for inventory purposes.

Thermal dispersion flow meters adjust their flow rate
calculations according to the flow medium's temperature.

Lux meter is the measuring device to measure the lux level of lighting fixture. in industrial sector two types of lighting fixture is being used as street lighting purpose 1. HPSV (Sodium) and 2. HPMV (Mercury). HPMV having white light which is an combination of red, blue and yellow colour, while HPSV haivng Yellow lighting. in HPSV red & blue colour will be absent. during measurement of the lux level of HPSV and HPMV fixture. 1. Lux meter can measure the actual lux level of both fixture? 2. or it will show false reading for HPSV fixture light as it has only yellow light present. please give me answer
