When using normal industrial thermometers in cooling applications, the thermometer housing cools down considerably due to the good thermal conductivity of the immersion tube and the aluminium casing. In case of high humidity, condensation may form on the casing. This effect can be avoided by using a thermometer with a condensation barrier.
Casing
Nominal size 150 mm, aluminium, V-shaped, smoothly polished on all sides, anodised in brass colour, numbers of the display range printed in black on the right-hand side of the scale under the anodised layer. Adjustable by means of brass lock nut (AF22), can be read in any viewing direction, 90° for angle thermometers, connection immersion tube / casing by grooved pin and locking screw. Advantage: No turning of the casing required during assembly.
Glass insert (capillary)
Prismatic capillary in rod form made of solid glass, approx. 8 mm Ø, and white background with blue liquid filling. The graduation of the capillary is burnt in black and therefore absolutely durable. Main graduation marks, which correspond to the numbers printed in the casing, are particularly strong and distinctive.
Immersion tube
Made of brass as a standard. Stainless steel on request. The diameter of the immersion tube type "B" is Ø 10 mm; wall thickness 1 mm.
Scale graduation values and error limits
SIKA industrial thermometers meet the requirements of DIN 16195 "Requirements and testing of industrial glass thermometers". Scale graduation values and error limits are defined depending on the casing size and the display range.
