This only applies, in this respect, for unfilled instruments. When there are vibrations in the process, the operator must often resort to thermometers with liquid filling. The silicone oil used within dampens the vibrations. However, this limits the possible upper temperature in the process to +250 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Gas-actuated thermometers generally operate reliably in the process between -200 \u00b0C and +700 \u00b0C. However, the operator must consider the ambient temperature here. With ambient temperatures of 23 \u00b0C \u00b1 10 \u00b0C, WIKA guarantees accuracy class 1 of EN13190. However, the lower the gas volume, the harder this can be to maintain. For an exact measurement of the process temperature, the thermometer must be dimensioned appropriately:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The stem diameter should be at least 8 mm<\/li>\n<li>The active part of the thermometer, i.e. the temperature sensor filled with gas, should be at least 100mm long<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With bimetal thermometers, the ambient temperature has no influence on the measuring result. Therefore, these instruments can be used with external conditions down to -50 \u00b0C. The insertion length and the diameter of the stem are by no means to be disregarded: for an optimal measurement both should be dimensioned as large as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<br \/>\n<\/strong>Further information on both instrument types can be found on the WIKA website under the headings \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/dial_thermometers.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Dial thermometers<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-en\/thermometers_with_switch_contacts.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Thermometers with switch contacts<\/a>\u201d.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the differences between bimetal and gas-actuated thermometers in the following video:<\/p>\n<div data-fullscreen=\"disabled\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" data-reset-after-played id=\"arve-youtube-vjse8ss800w\" style=\"max-width:900px;\" class=\"arve\">\n<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n<div style=\"aspect-ratio:500\/281\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.200000%\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-vjse8ss800w\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Vjse8sS800w?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"505.8\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Vjse8sS800w?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0&#038;enablejsapi=1\" title=\"Bimetal vs. gas-actuated thermometers | What is the difference?\" width=\"900\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blog.wika.com\\\/en\\\/knowhow\\\/selection-criteria-for-dial-thermometers-2-process-temperature\\\/#arve-youtube-vjse8ss800w\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/Vjse8sS800w?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0&enablejsapi=1\",\"name\":\"Bimetal vs. gas-actuated thermometers | What is the difference?\",\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/Vjse8sS800w\\\/hqdefault.jpg\",\"uploadDate\":\"2018-07-18T15:50:56Z\",\"author\":\"WIKA Group\",\"description\":\"In industrial temperature measurement, primarily two types of dial thermometers are used: bimetal and gas-actuated thermometers. Which measuring principle should be used depends on a number of different factors, such as response time, temperature limits & application range.\\n\\nBimetal thermometers operate with a measuring system in the form of a helical or spiral tube. The measuring system consists of two sheets with different expansion coefficients, which are inseparably joined. Through the mechanical deformation of the bimetal strip, a rotational movement results, caused by temperature changes. This movement is transferred through a pointer shaft to the pointer of the thermometer.\\n\\nThe measuring system of gas-actuated thermometers consists of a stem, capillary and Bourdon tube in the case. These parts are combined to form a single unit. The entire measuring system is filled with an inert gas under pressure. Any change in temperature causes a change in internal pressure in the stem. The pressure deforms the measuring tube and the deflection is transferred to the pointer via a movement.\\n\\nBut how do I find the right thermometer for my area of application?\\nDue to their simpler design, bimetal thermometers are considerably less expensive. An important advantage of gas-actuated thermometers is their fast response time. Further advantages: Via a capillary with a length of up to 60 metres or more, gas-actuated thermometers can also be mounted remotely from the measuring point. Liquid filling of the gas-actuated thermometers is possible even at medium temperatures above 250 \\u00b0C.\\n\\nSo you see: The final decision as to which dial thermometer will be used depends on a number of different factors. Our specialists are happy to advise you in the selection of the right thermometer.\\n\\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \\n\\n\\ud83d\\udcd6 You can also find interesting posts on this subject in our WIKA blog.\\nSelection criteria for dial thermometers \\u2013 response time: \\nSelection criteria for dial thermometers \\u2013 process temperature: \\n\\n\\ud83d\\uded2 Order dial thermometers now, directly from our online shop: \\n\\n\\ud83c\\udf10 Dial thermometers from WIKA can be found here: \\n\\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ \\n \\nFollow us on our social media channels:\\n\\ud83d\\udcfa YouTube: \\n\\ud83c\\udfaf LinkedIn:\"}<\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>See also our articles<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/en\/knowhow\/selection-criteria-for-mechanical-thermometers-response-time-2\/\">Selection criteria for mechanical thermometers (1): Response time<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/en\/knowhow\/selection-criteria-for-dial-thermometers-3-capillary\/\">Selection criteria for dial thermometers (3): Capillary<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which dial thermometer is suitable for which process?
