A bimetallic temperature gauge is a mechanical temperature measurement instrument that uses the differential thermal expansion of two metals bonded together to detect temperature changes. These gauges are self-operating, requiring no external power, making them ideal for a variety of industrial and commercial uses.

Working Principle

At its core is a bimetallic element, usually formed into a spiral or helical coil. This coil is made by bonding two metal strips with significantly different coefficients of thermal expansion (e.g., steel and brass or steel and copper).

  • As the temperature increases, the metals expand at different rates.

  • This causes the strip to bend or twist.

  • The twisting motion is mechanically amplified and transmitted to a pointer on a dial to indicate the temperature.

Typical Metal Combinations:

  • Steel & Brass

  • Steel & Invar

  • Copper & Steel
