Inspection and Calibration of Industrial Bimetallic Thermometers

Industrial bimetallic thermometers are widely used to measure medium and low temperatures in various industrial environments. These thermometers operate based on the principle that two metals with different thermal expansion coefficients are bonded together. As the temperature changes, the bimetallic strip bends due to the varying expansion rates of the metals, and this bending movement
