The sleeve is made either of brass (for thermometers with an upper measurement range of up to 200 °C), or of nickel-plated steel (for thermometers with a measurement range of 0...600 °C), or of stainless steel (on request). Depending on the type of connection, two versions are produced: angular thermometer and straight thermometer.

An indicating thermometer is a device for measuring temperature at various industrial enterprises. Bimetallic thermometer (BT thermometer) refers to technical devices, intended for measuring the temperature of liquids and gases in heating and sanitary installations, in air conditioning and ventilation systems, as well as for measuring the temperature of granular and viscous media in the food industry.

The operating principle of a technical thermometer is based on the dependence of the deformation of the sensitive element (bimetallic spring) on ​​the measured temperature. The spring is made of two firmly connected metal plates, which have different temperature coefficients of linear expansion. When the temperature changes, the spring bends and rotates the thermometer needle. One end of the bimetallic spring is fixed inside the rod, and an arrow is attached to the other (except contact thermometers with a spring for mounting on a pipe, in which the bimetallic spring is wound around the axis of the contact element, and the arrow is fixed directly to the bimetal).

Depending on the type of connection of the rod to the body, BT thermometers are divided into rear (axial) and radial. The device body is made of chrome or stainless steel. Rod material: brass or stainless steel.

Modifications of thermometers

The BT industrial thermometer can be produced in several modifications, which differ in design and component materials:

  • general technical series 211 with a chrome-plated steel body and a stainless steel rod;
  • general technical special ones with a galvanized steel body and a spring for mounting on a pipe;
  • general technical special ones made of stainless steel and a needle-shaped rod;
  • corrosion-resistant 220 series stainless steel.

The bimetallic thermometer is equipped with a brass threaded protective sleeve. The exceptions are technical thermometers BT of corrosion-resistant design (series 220) with a stem, ring and body made of stainless steel, as well as general technical special thermometers (with a measuring element in the form of a needle and contact BT with a spring for mounting on a pipe). The 220 series corrosion-resistant industrial thermometer has a thread on the stem, and a protective sleeve is not included in the standard delivery.

For measuring and constantly monitoring the temperature of the working medium (liquid or gas) that is transported through pipelines or located in heating devices, special measuring instruments are used - thermometers. Such devices allow measurements to be taken with a high degree of accuracy, are durable and versatile. They are used in various fields, both in industry and in everyday life.

All thermometers are divided into several types:

  • liquid;
  • mechanical;
  • electrical;
  • optical.

In everyday life, the most widely used are bimetallic and liquid thermometers, which we offer to buy in Moscow from us.

Liquid thermometers

The operation of such a device is based on the ability of the liquid inside the capillary tube to expand as the temperature rises. For technical purposes the best option are kerosene thermometers. The working fluid in such thermometers is colored kerosene, which, unlike mercury thermometers, is considered the safest.

Mercury thermometers are practically not used for technical purposes, since during use there is a high probability of damage to the thermometer, and mercury vapor is very dangerous to human health. In terms of measurement accuracy, kerosene thermometers are in no way inferior to mercury thermometers.

The temperature measurement range of the kerosene thermometers presented on our website varies from 0 to 100 °C. The existing scale allows you to control the temperature with an accuracy of one degree.

The shape of a thermometer with a long stem is most convenient for determining the temperature of hot coolants.

Advantages of kerosene thermometers:

  • very easy to operate and maintain;
  • all elements measuring instrument sufficiently reliable and safe;
  • compact, easy to install in the right place;
  • high measurement accuracy.

Disadvantages of kerosene thermometers:

  • low resistance to mechanical damage;
  • possible stratification of liquid in the capillary due to sudden shaking.

Bimetallic thermometers

This type of thermometer is used not only in industrial enterprises, but also in everyday life, to determine the temperature in rooms, baths, saunas, swimming pools, greenhouses, heating systems, etc.

The design of such thermometers excludes the use of any technical liquids for measurement. Such a thermometer works due to the elastic deformation of two interconnected metal elements in the form of plates, which have different coefficients of thermal expansion. This thermometer is an excellent alternative to liquid temperature measuring instruments.

A bimetallic thermometer is used to determine the temperature of any medium - liquid, gaseous or granular. Temperature measurement range - - 70… +600 °C.

You can buy bimetallic thermometers in Moscow in two types:

  1. Needle-shaped— have a special needle-probe for immersion in the working environment.
  2. Pipe— control the temperature in heating systems and on the surface of transport pipes.

Advantages of bimetallic thermometers:

  • allows you to perform precise measurements environment;
  • long service life without performing routine maintenance. Not afraid of minor mechanical loads;
  • convenient design that allows quick reading of temperature indicators;
  • easy to install and does not require special conditions;
  • All parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials.

Disadvantages of bimetallic thermometers:

  • high inertia (some delay in temperature change readings);
  • Higher cost when compared to liquid thermometers.

Thermometer frames

Such products are designed to protect glass thermometers from mechanical stress that can lead to damage.

The body of such a frame has an observation window to monitor the thermometer readings. The frame is fastened to parts and pipelines using screws. For installing frames in pipes with different diameter, special bosses are used. To reduce thermal resistance, the gap between the inner wall of the frame and the thermometer bulb is filled with a material with a high thermal conductivity coefficient.

Buy thermometers in Moscow various types, as well as frames for them, you can find in our online store at affordable prices.
