Straight type Thermometer
Technical parameters
. Temperature Range: The range of temperatures the thermometer can measure. For instance, -50°C to 600°C or higher for some industrial applications.
. Accuracy: The degree to which the measured temperature corresponds to the true temperature. This could be within ±0.5°C or better.
. Resolution: The smallest change in temperature that the thermometer can detect, often 0.1°C or 0.01°C.
. Response Time: The time it takes for the thermometer to respond to a temperature change, typically a few seconds to a minute.
. Stem Length and Diameter: The physical dimensions of the thermometer's stem, which could vary from a few centimeters to several meters in length, and different diameters like 6mm, 8mm, etc.
Overview
Specifications
. Temperature Range: Can vary widely, from as low as -200°C to as high as 800°C, depending on the application and design.
. Accuracy: Generally within ±1% of the reading for industrial applications.
. Stem Length: Can vary, but common lengths are 4", 6", 9", and 12".
. Stem Diameter: Common diameters include 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm.
Types
Liquid-in-Glass Thermometer: Uses a liquid (like mercury or alcohol) that expands and contracts with temperature changes.
Bimetal Thermometer: Uses two different metals bonded together that expand at different rates, causing the strip to bend and move the needle.
Electronic Thermometer: Uses electronic sensors to measure temperature, often with digital displays.
