2.2 Description
The gas-actuated thermometer consists of a stem, capillary and
Bourdon tube in the case. These parts are combined to form a single
unit. The entire measuring system is filled with an inert gas under
pressure.
Any change in temperature causes a change in internal pressure in the
stem. The pressure deforms the measuring tube and the deflection is
transferred to the pointer via a movement.
