- Food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processes
Their rugged construction and mechanical reliability make them well suited for environments where electronic sensors may not be practical.
Q & A
WIKA Dial Thermometers Q & A
Bimetal thermometers use a coiled metal element that expands with temperature, while gas-actuated thermometers use a filled system that reacts to temperature changes. Gas-actuated designs typically offer faster response times and higher accuracy over long distances.
No. Dial thermometers operate using mechanical principles and do not require electrical power, making them reliable in remote or hazardous locations.
WIKA dial thermometers are available across a wide range of temperatures, from low-temperature HVAC applications to high-temperature industrial processes, depending on the model and design.
A thermowell is recommended when the process is under pressure, involves corrosive media, or when the thermometer needs to be removed without shutting down the system. Thermowells protect the instrument and extend service life.
Accuracy depends on the thermometer type, range, and installation. WIKA dial thermometers are manufactured to meet international accuracy standards and provide reliable, repeatable temperature readings when properly installed.
