Bimetal Thermometer with the MAXIVISION® DIAL

Bimetal thermometer instruments from Dresser Instruments broke new ground with the easy-to-read Maxivision® dial. The Ashcroft® Maxivision® dial eliminates parallax error and can be read accurately at many angles.

A bimetal thermometer senses and indicates temperature using a bimetal thermometer coil which consists of two dissimilar metals bonded together. These materials have different coefficients of expansion and, when subjected to temperature change, rotate the coil.

Ashcroft® bimetal thermometers are manufactured at an ISO 9001 certified facility in Stratford, CT to ASME B40.3 Grade A accuracy of 1% of span. An Ashcroft® bimetal thermometer can be ordered in 2", 3" or a 5" dial size; and in a Fahrenheit, Celsius or dual scale range. Various configurations are offered with hermetically sealed cases such as lower, rear or every angle connections with a tamper proof case or an external adjustment, depending on your needs. Standard stem lengths for a bimetal thermometer range from 2 1/2 through 24 inches while non-standard stem lengths up to 60 inches can be custom made.

In selecting a bimetal thermometer, the following factors must be considered:
Temperature range
Accuracy
Type - dry or liquid
Case size
Window material
Externally adjustable versus tamper proof
Case connection
Stem/connection location
Stem length

Trained product specialists are available at 1-800-328-8258 to provide application assistance and to assist in the selection of thermowells for applications where the bimetal stem will be exposed to pressure, velocity or corrosive fluids. For more product information, click here.
