1. a device that automatically controls temperature by regulating heat, especially one that maintains a constant high temperature
Usage: technical

Examples

• The laboratory pyrostat maintained the furnace at exactly 1200 degrees Celsius.
• Industrial kilns often use a pyrostat to ensure consistent firing temperatures.
• The pyrostat prevented the heating element from overheating during the experiment.
• Engineers installed a new pyrostat to improve temperature control in the manufacturing process.
• The ceramic workshop’s pyrostat failed, causing uneven heating in the kiln.
• Researchers calibrated the pyrostat before beginning the high-temperature testing.
