temperature test
Reading the thermometer
A temperature test measures how hot or cold something is—a person, substance, or environment.
In medical contexts, it checks for fever: The nurse gave him a temperature test before the appointment.
Temperature tests also verify equipment function, food safety, or material tolerance under heat or cold.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, temperature tests became routine screening at building entrances.
