Temperature gauges work using gas-actuated, bimetal or expansion principles. They measure temperatures ranging from -200 to +700 °C. All temperature gauges are suitable for thermowell installation.
Temperature gauges determine the thermal condition of a uniform substance. The sensing element needs close contact with the measured body. Common measurement techniques depend on physical and material properties that change with temperature.
JWF has partnered with WIKA in Scotland since 1972 and are responsible for the full sales and technical promotion of WIKA products.
Bimetal temperature gauges operate with a measuring system in the form of a helical or spiral tube. Bimetal temperature gauges are available with a scale range of -70 ... +600 °C in accuracy classes 1 and 2 in accordance with EN 13190.
An expansion temperature gauge consists of a temperature sensor, a capillary and a Bourdon tube. The measuring system itself is filled with a liquid. Using capillaries from 500 to 10,000 mm long, measurements can also be taken from remote measuring points. The scale ranges for expansion temperature gauges lie between -40 ... +400 ° C with class 1 and 2 accuracies in accordance with EN 13190.
With a gas-actuated temperature gauge the stem, the capillary and the Bourdon tube are joined together into one unit. The instrument is filled with inert gas. Gas-actuated temperature gauges are available with scale ranges between -200 ... +700 °C in accuracy class 1.
