Bimetal Thermometer
 

Wide portfolio
High measurement accuracy and long service life
Low susceptibility to interference, and thus high process reliability

In industrial temperature measurement, primarily, three types of dial thermometers are used: bimetal thermometers, gas-actuated thermometers, and expansion thermometers. Which measurement principle should be used depends on several different factors, such as response time, temperature limits & application range.

What is a bimetal thermometer and how does a bimetal thermometer measure?
 

Bimetal thermometers are thermometers based on the functional principle that metals expand differently depending on the temperature change. A bimetal thermometer always consists of two different metal strips that have a different thermal expansion coefficient. The two strips are joined together inseparably and thus form the bimetal strip. When the temperature changes, the different metals expand to different degrees, which leads to a mechanical deformation of the bimetal strip. This mechanical deformation can be detected in a rotary movement. The measuring system works in the form of a helical or spiral tube. This movement is transmitted to the pointer of the thermometer via the pointer shaft, which thus enables the temperature to be measured.

In which applications are bimetal thermometers used?

Bimetal thermometers are used in many different industrial applications, e.g. in machine building, heating technology, and air conditioning and refrigeration technology. The wide variety of models bimetallic thermometers offer a large selection of thermometers in a wide range of applications.

The model 52 bimetallic thermometer, with its case and stem made of stainless steel, represents the entry-level model among the process thermometers but is also used for demanding applications in machine building.

The model A48 bimetal thermometer has been specifically developed for use in air-conditioning and refrigeration technology to measure the temperature in air ducts, whereas the model A43 bimetal thermometer was developed as a standard version for simple temperature indication in heating technology. As you can see, we offer a suitable thermometer for every application. Our specialists will be happy to advise you on your selection.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of bimetal thermometers?

 

 

Compared to gas-actuated thermometers, bimetal thermometers are much cheaper in terms of price. This price advantage is due to their simpler construction.

 

The scale ranges of bimetal thermometers are between -70 and +600 °C (-94 and +1,112 °F) with accuracy classes 1 and 2 by EN 13190. For applications in which high vibrations occur, thermometers with liquid filling are used. For the filling, silicone oil is used, which damps the vibration and limits the maximum temperature to +250°C (482 °F).

 

When the temperature changes, all types of dial thermometers react by the same principle; the expansion principle. The difference, however, is that with the bimetal thermometer, the rotary movement of the bimetal can only be shown directly on the display. With the gas-actuated thermometer, on the other hand, the measured value can easily be transmitted via capillary due to its inert gas filling. Remote capillaries can even be used here to install gas-actuated thermometers up to 60 meters away from the measuring location. Expansion thermometers can also be installed via remote capillaries, but, instead of an inert gas, a filling medium is used for the measuring system, e.g. xylene or silicone oil.

 

The final decision on which dial thermometer to use depends on several different factors. Our specialists will be happy to advise you in the selection of the right thermometer.

How do you use a bimetallic thermometer?

Using a Bimetallic Stemmed Thermometer
These thermometers usually measure temperatures from 0º F to 220º F. Check the metal stem for a notch or slight indentation as an indicator of how far into the food the thermometer must be placed to take an accurate reading. Do not leave thermometer in food while it is cooking.

Calibrating a Bimetallic Stemmed Thermometer

A thermometer is your best defense against temperature abuse. However, it is of no use if it is not measuring the temperature of food accurately. You should calibrate your thermometer any time you have used it in a very hot to very cold food, it’s been dropped, if it does not appear to be taking accurate readings, and on a regular basis. The easiest way to calibrate a thermometer is by using the Freezing Point Method.

Freezing Point Method:

Place the metal stem thermometer at least 2 inches, without touching the bottom or sides, into a container filled with crushed ice and water. When the recording needle stops moving for at least one minute, read the dial. It should read 32º F. If it does not, then, while keeping the thermometer in the ice water, adjust the calibration nut at the base of the dial until the needle is at 32º F. Wait another 15 seconds to be certain it maintains a temperature of 32º F.

Bimetal Thermometer FAQ

 

 

Bimetal Thermometer

01. What is a bimetallic stemmed thermometer used for?

The bimetal stem thermometer can accurately measure the temperature of relatively thick or deep foods such as beef roasts and foods in a stockpot.

02. How accurate is a bimetallic thermometer?

The accuracy of a bimetal thermometer is expressed as a percentage (plus or minus) of the maximum scale range. Trerice Bimetal Thermometers are accurate to ±1.0% Full Scale, ASme B40. 3 grade A (except pocket type: ±5.0% Full Scale, ASme B40. 3 grade 3).

03. What is the most accurate way to calibrate bimetallic thermometers?

PUT THE THERMOMETER STEM OR PROBE INTO THE ICE WATER. Make sure the sensing area is underwater and not touching the sides of the container. Wait 30 seconds or until the reading stays steady. ADJUST THE THERMOMETER SO IT READS 32°F (0°C).

04. Which type of thermometer is the most widely used in food?

Oven-safe Bimetallic-coil Thermometers: This type of thermometer is familiar to most consumers. This is the traditional “meat” thermometer designed to be placed in a food before it goes into the oven.

05. How often should your bimetallic thermometer be calibrated?

In general, you should calibrate bimetal thermometers before every single shift. Calibrate digital thermometers every week or month. Always calibrate new thermometers or a thermometer that has been dropped. It's also a good idea to calibrate a thermometer after using it to measure significantly different temperatures.

We're well-known as one of the leading bimetal thermometer manufacturers and suppliers in China, featured by cheap products and good service. We warmly welcome you to wholesale custom made bimetal thermometer at competitive price from our factory.
