Abstract Non intrusive techniques for thermal measurements in Microgravity Fluidynamics are considered in the paper: Liquid Crystals Tracers, Thermographic System, and Thin Foil Fluxmeter. Liquid crystals have been employed both as tracers (for the evaluation of the flow field organization) and as point thermometers (for the temperature distribution). Liquid surface measurements are performed in closed and open cells. Heat fluxes measurements have been performed by Thin Foil Fluxmeters and temperature by Thermographic Method. The Laboratory experimentation substantiate the applicability of these techniques in fluidynamics experimentation on Space Platforms.
