Value Brand 5 in Dial Bimetal Thermometer 50 to 550F measurement tool

5-inch dial bimetal thermometer

This analog thermometer uses a bimetal coil to measure temperatures from 50 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. The 5-inch dial provides clear readability for industrial and mechanical monitoring tasks. A hermetically sealed stainless steel case protects the movement from moisture and contaminants. It suits technicians who need reliable local temperature indication without external power.

Adjustable connection replaces fixed-stem gauges

The 1/2 inch NPT connection allows horizontal adjustment through 360 degrees and vertical adjustment through 180 degrees. This flexibility lets operators position the dial for optimal viewing in tight or awkward installations. The 12-inch stem reaches into deep vessels or ducts where shorter probes cannot. The jump is worthwhile when fixed-angle thermometers cannot be read easily.

Accuracy and material limits define practical use

Accuracy is rated at plus or minus one percent of the full scale range. The glass window and stainless steel stem withstand typical process environments but may not suit highly corrosive or high-pressure media without verification. The adjustable joint adds a potential leak path compared to fixed-stem designs. Buyers needing certified calibration traceability or digital logging should consider other instrument types.
