Dial Thermometer
Product Code : EL-LEAA-10532
Dial Thermometer (code EL-LEAA-10532) is a bi-metal expansion thermometer that shows temperature with a sharp metal indicator on a circular scale, used to measure temperatures over a wide range. Its two main components are the needle and the temperature sensor, the scale may run anywhere from -200 °C to 650 °C, and liquid type, gas filled and vapour tension dial thermometers are further types.

What Is the Dial Thermometer Used For?
In a bi-metal thermometer two strips of different metals, bonded together and usually formed into a coil, expand by different amounts as the temperature changes, so the element bends and turns the needle across the dial. The sensor is placed in the liquid, oven, bath or space being checked, and the temperature is read directly from the needle on the circular scale, without the fragile glass column of a liquid-in-glass thermometer. Liquid, gas filled and vapour tension types work instead on the pressure of a sealed filled system, and the scale chosen may lie anywhere between -200 °C and 650 °C.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of dial thermometers needed.
- Type — bi-metal, liquid type, gas filled or vapour tension.
- Scale range — the temperature span needed, within -200 °C to 650 °C.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a bi-metal dial thermometer work?
Two bonded metals expand at different rates when heated, so the bi-metal element bends with temperature and moves the needle over the circular scale.
What temperature range can be covered?
Dial thermometer scales may vary from -200 °C to 650 °C, so the range is chosen to match the temperatures to be measured.
What are the main parts?
There are two main components: the temperature sensor, which responds to the heat, and the needle, a sharp metal indicator fixed over the circular temperature scale.
Are other kinds of dial thermometer available?
Yes. Besides the bi-metal type there are liquid type, gas filled and vapour tension dial thermometers, which use a sealed filled system instead of a bi-metal element.
