A thermometer used to measure the cooling power of the air surrounding it, having its bulb covered with water-moistened material. The instrument is brought to a steady temperature of 100\u00b0F and then exposed to the air.

A device consisting of two thermometers, one a dry bulb and the other a wet bulb. Both are heated to 110\u00b0F (43.3\u00b0C) and the time required for each thermometer to fall from 100\u00b0 to 90\u00b0F (37.8\u00b0 to 32.2\u00b0C) is noted. The dry bulb gives the cooling power by radiation and convection, the wet bulb by radiation, convection, and evaporation.<\/p>\n
