FIELD: thermometry, measurement of temperature in dry friction zone of sliding parts. SUBSTANCE: method determining temperature in friction zone consists in placement of friction pair into electric circuit with formation of natural thermocouple and in measurement of value of emf generated in friction zone. Distribution of thermoelectric sensitivity of natural thermocouple over surface of rotating part is determined prior to start of measurement. Then values of emf in function of angle of turn of rotating part are measured. Value of temperature for individual section is found by values of thermo-emf and thermoelectric sensitivity corresponding to it. EFFECT: raised authenticity of determination of temperature in friction zone of rotating and stationary parts made of conducting materials. 2 dwg
