Angle type Thermometer
Angle type thermometers are specialized instruments used to measure temperature, often in industrial and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) applications. They are designed with a dial that can be viewed from different angles, typically featuring an adjustable stem and head for ease of reading in various positions.
Overview
Applications
HVAC Systems: Used to monitor air temperature in ducts and vents.
Industrial Processes: Essential for monitoring temperatures in manufacturing processes, boilers, and reactors.
Food and Beverage Industry: Ensure the correct temperatures during cooking, processing, and storage.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries: Used in various processes requiring precise temperature monitoring.
Types
Bi-metallic Thermometers: Utilize two different metals bonded together that expand at different rates as temperature changes. This expansion causes the pointer to move, indicating the temperature.
Gas-Actuated Thermometers: Contain a gas-filled bulb connected to a dial via a capillary tube. As temperature changes, the gas expands or contracts, causing the pointer on the dial to move.
Liquid-Filled Thermometers: Use a liquid (often mercury or alcohol) in a bulb and tube system. Temperature changes cause the liquid to expand or contract, moving the pointer on the dial.
