6. Temperature Gauge - Basic
 Principleof 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 system’s 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

7. BimetallicTemperature 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.

8. BimetallicTemperature 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.

9. Gas/Mercury Temperature Gauge
 Principleof 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,
movementproportional 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 gaugehas 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
extensionCapillary only in Gas filled and Liquid Filled gauge.
4. In Bimetallic temperature gaugecan use a limit stem length (up to 1500 mm).
5. Bimetallic gaugehas low cost ,simple construction and gas filled & Liquid
expansiongaugeare expensive.
6 . In mechanical thermometer, no external output temp indicating source is .
required. It is Direct contact temperature measurement instrument.

18. 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
throughthe pressure port (socket), the pressure causes the Bourdon tube to
straightenitself, 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.

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

20. 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.
