Abstract Four principal methods have been used for measuring the latent heats in metals due to change of phase or state, or to cold working: (1) The total heat at any stage can be measured at a number of temperatures by means of a calorimeter. (2) The rate of cooling of the specimen can be measured and the latent heat deduced on the assumption of Newton’s Law of Cooling.
