- Temperature log
- Recording temperature variations down hole by the use of an electrode containing a length of platinum wire that readily assumes the temperature of the drilling mud, gas or water in the hole.

The curing or hardening cement gives off heat which alters the temperature gradient in the well bore and which can be detected by the tool.
