Choose the type
Four types of dial thermometer, for local reading, remote reading, alarms and awkward mounting positions.
Bimetallic temperature gauges
Rugged bimetal dial thermometers for local reading.
Gas-filled temperature gauges
Capillary thermometers for remote reading and panel mounting.
Electric contact temperature gauges
Thermometers that switch alarms, heaters and coolers at set points.
All-angle temperature gauges
An adjustable head that turns and tilts for easy reading.
Thermowells
Protect the stem and change the thermometer without stopping the process.
What it is
Our temperature gauges include bimetallic and all-angle dial thermometers for local reading, gas-filled capillary thermometers for remote reading, and electric contact thermometers that also switch alarms or controls. Most are fitted with a stem that goes into the process, usually inside a thermowell.
We also supply thermowells to suit.
How it works
In a bimetal gauge, a coiled strip of two metals bends as the temperature changes, and the bend turns the pointer. In a capillary type, the sensing bulb is connected to the dial by a thin tube, so the dial can be mounted away from the hot point.
Where it is used
- Pipes, tanks and heat exchangers
- Boilers and heating systems
- Machines and ovens
- Places where the dial must be read from a distance (capillary type)
Things to consider
- Choose the stem length (U) so the sensing part sits in the flow.
- Use a thermowell so the gauge can be changed without stopping the process.
- Check the working range and the mounting direction.

Questions about temperature gauges
Why use a thermowell?
A thermowell protects the stem from pressure, flow and corrosion, and allows the thermometer to be removed and replaced without opening the process.
