Frequently Asked Questions About Temperature Gauges
Q: What are temperature gauges used for?
The temperature gauges are used to show the current temperature of a fluid or ambient air. GTS offers two types of temperature gauge; the Bimetal temperature gauges and the Capillary temperature gauge.
Q: How do the temperature gauges work?
The bimetal thermometers have a metal coil that contracts or expands as the temperature changes. This causes a rotational movement that moves the temperature gauge dial.
Q: How do capillary temperature gauges work?
Temperature gauges with a capillary tube attached work by the expansion of the gas inside the capillary. As the temperature in the bulb heats up, the gas expands, increasing pressure, which moves a bourdon tube, which moves the pointer. At no point should the capillary tube be cut or opened.
Q: How do I choose a temperature gauge?
The temperature gauge that you choose will be dependent on a few factors:
- Desired temperature range
- Dial size
- Pressure of media being used
- Preferred thread type & size
- Whether the stem needs to be on the bottom or back of the dial
- The desired length of the stem
- Stainless steel or brass materials
- Capillary length
