Temperature Gauge
Technical

Process Engineering Solutions

Temperature Gauge - Basic
Principle of operation :-
A change in temperature causes some kind of mechanical motion, typically due to
the fact that most materials expand with a rise in temperature. Mechanical
thermometers can be constructed that use liquids, solids and gases as the
temperature-sensitive material.
Thermometers are based on the principle that some physical property of a system
changes as the systems temperature changes.

Types of Temperature Gauge(According to Mechanical Construction) : -

1. Bimetallic Temperature Gauge

2. Inert Gas Filled Temperature Gauge
3. Mercury Filled Temperature Gauge
Process Engineering Solutions
Bimetallic Temperature Gauge
The temperature is measured with a bimetal strip inside the thermometer stem.
The bimetal strip consists of two metal strips bonded together that have different
thermal expansion coefficients. Therefore, one strip will expand faster than the
other causing the bimetal strip to curl in proportion to its temperature.

Bimetallic Helix

Process Engineering Solutions

Bimetallic Temperature Gauge
The bimetal system is helically wound and heat treated for long term stability.
Temperature variations cause the bimetal strip to unwind or wind tighter, which
in turn rotates the pointer.

Gas/Mercury Temperature Gauge
Principle of operation :-

A gas expansion thermometer is made of a cylindrical bulb filled with inert gas &
uses the volume expansion of gas at temperature changes. Gas pressure changes
inside the bulb due to temperature changes, are sensed by a special helical
bourdon tube, which, connected to an amplifying device will give the pointer,
movement proportional to the temperature.

Liquid expansion thermometer is based on same principle but we filled cylindrical

bulb with liquid with pressure.

Argon Gas usually is used for Gas expansion thermometers & Mercury is used for
Liquid expansion thermometers.

Some Technical Points :-

1. Inert Gas filled gauge has fast response time and better accuracy as compared to
other bimetallic and Liquid filled type thermometer.
2. Electric contact switch can provide only in Gas filled & Mercury filled type gauge.
used as on/off switch on high and low set temperature.
3. In the filed to measure temperature over long distance (up to 30 meter) use
extension Capillary only in Gas filled and Liquid Filled gauge.
4. In Bimetallic temperature gauge can use a limit stem length (up to 1500 mm).
5. Bimetallic gauge has low cost ,simple construction and gas filled & Liquid
expansion gauge are expensive.
6 . In mechanical thermometer, no external output temp indicating source is .
required. It is Direct contact temperature measurement instrument.

Pressure Gauge - Basic
Pressure is the action of one force against another force. Pressure is force applied
to, or distributed over, a surface. The pressure P of a force F distributed over an
area A is defined as

The Pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure.

Pressure Gauge Bourdon Tube
Working Principle :-
Bourdon tube measuring element is made of a thin-walled C-shape tube or spirally
wound helical or coiled tube. When pressure is applied to the measuring system
through the pressure port (socket), the pressure causes the Bourdon tube to
straighten itself, thus causing the tip to move. The motion of the tip is transmitted
via the link to the movement which converts the linear motion of the bourdon tube
to a rotational motion that in turn causes the pointer to indicate the measured
pressure.

Pressure Gauge Diaphragm
Working Principle :-
A Diaphragm seal is device in which flexible membrane (diaphragm)seals and
isolate the measuring instrument from the process medium.
Diaphragm seal protects the pressure sensor from the harmful and hazardous
effect of the process fluid.

Where diaphragm seal is essential ?

Corrosive process fluid

Process fluid having sediments or solid particles
Hazardous Process fluid
Freeze or crystallize at lower temp.
Highly viscous process fluid
Process Engineering Solutions
Pressure Gauge Capsule
Working Principle :-
Capsule Pressure gauges are designed for measuring low/very low pressures and
vacuum. The capsule consists of two diaphragms joined and sealed around their
circumference. Normally, pressure is applied to the inside of the capsule, which
changes shape as a result. By means of a link and gear movement system, this
deflection is converted into rotation of a concentric pointer indicating pressure
on a dial.
