- radiation pyrometer a pyrometer for estimating the temperature of distant sources of heat; radiation is focussed on a thermojunction connected in circuit with a galvanometer
- corrugated iron usually galvanized sheet iron or sheet steel shaped into straight parallel ridges and hollows
- galvanization stimulation with a galvanic current
- galvani Italian physiologist noted for his discovery that frogs' muscles contracted in an electric field (which led to the galvanic cell) (1737-1798)
- galvanisation either the work of covering with metal by the use of a galvanic current or the coating of iron with zinc to protect it from rusting
