Kata thermometer [′kad·ə thər′mam·əd·ər]

(engineering)

An alcohol thermometer used to measure low velocities in air circulation, by heating the large bulb of the thermometer above 100°F (38°C) and noting the time it takes to cool from 100 to 95°F (38 to 35°C) or some other interval above ambient temperature, the time interval being a measure of the air current at that location.
