temperatuurivahemikke

Temperatuurivahemikke, literally "temperature intervals" in Estonian, is a term used in technical literature to denote discrete bands that partition a continuous temperature scale into separate bins or operating ranges. The concept is applied in metrology, data analysis, and process control to structure temperature measurements and responses.

In data processing, temperatuurivahemikke refer to the boundaries that divide a series of temperature measurements into discrete categories or bins. The choice of interval width affects resolution and statistical power and can influence trend interpretation. Uniform intervals are common, while nonuniform intervals may reflect sensor precision or operational relevance.

In calibration and control systems, these intervals define setpoints, hysteresis bands, safety limits, or control rules. For example, a heating system might use intervals such as 18–20°C, 20–22°C, and 22–24°C to simplify decision logic.

Selecting intervals involves trade-offs between detail and robustness. Common approaches include equal-width binning, equal-frequency binning, and domain-based intervals that reflect physical constraints.

Related concepts include temperature binning, tolerances, and hysteresis. Because the term can vary by field, context is important when interpreting its exact meaning.
