• Most Commonly Mercury is used
• Mercury has high linear coefficient of expansion
• Doesn’t wet the glass b/c of high intermolecular
forces
•
The operating range: -35o
C to 450o
C• Inexpensive, Good accuracy (<0.1oC)
• High Linearity
(i) Liquid in Glass Thermometers

(ii) Bimetallic Strip Thermometers
• Two strips of dissimilar metals(Brass & Invar)
• Different thermal coefficient ofthermal expansion
• Form an arc as Temp. changes
• Inexpensive, Compact,Rugged
• Usually configured as Spiralor Helix for compactness
•
Range: -180 to 430o

(iii) Pressure Spring Thermometer
• Metal bulb: low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Capillary tube: high coefficient of expansion
• Material in bulb may be liquid or gas
• As Temperature rises Pressure increases
• Calibration: Stem & Bourdon tube are Temp.sensitive
•
Range:up to 550
oC

• RTD’s are wire wound resistors
• Sealed in stainless steel shell
• Remaining space is filled with ceramic for goodheat conduction and poor electrical conduction
• Resistance of pure metals is positive andincreases linearly.
•
Range:-170 to 780oC

Thermistors
•
Belong to the resistance Temp. changedevices
• These are the class of metal oxides(Semiconductor material)
• High sensitivity:
up to 10% change per oC
• Range: -50 to 300oC

•
Two dissimilar metals are joined to make twojunctions
• Because of Temp. difference, EMF is producedat junctions
• The Potential difference is proportional to Temp.
3. Thermocouples

• Radiation is used to sense Temp.
(i) Radiation Pyrometer
4. Pyrometers
• Senses heat radiated from hot body through afixed lens
• Lens focuses heat energy on to a thermopile
• Non-contact device (Used in furnace)

• Incident radiationis matched with radiation
from internal filament
• Current through filament is adjusted until colorof radiation matches
• Current is then related to Temp. of source
• Range: 1100 to 2800oC
(ii) Optical Pyrometer
