Thermometers - Ashcroft

Bimetal thermometers are widely used temperature measurement devices that employ a bimetallic strip to indicate temperature changes. These thermometers consist of two metal strips, typically made of different metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion, bonded together. The metals expand or contract at different rates as the temperature changes, causing the bimetallic strip to bend. This bending motion is then translated into a rotational movement displayed on a calibrated dial to indicate the temperature. Bimetal thermometers are known for their simplicity, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They are commonly used in various industries and applications requiring reliable temperature monitoring, such as HVAC systems, automotive, food processing, and industrial processes. Bimetal thermometers offer advantages such as wide temperature ranges, resistance to shock and vibration, and ease of installation. They are available in different sizes and configurations to suit specific application requirements. With their robust construction and accurate temperature indication, bimetal thermometers provide a reliable and cost-effective temperature measurement solution in various industrial and commercial settings.
