A division of Ashcroft Inc., Weksler has set
the standard worldwide for accuracy, quality and dependability.
Weksler manufactures an extensive line of bimetal thermometers.
Considerations in Selecting a Weksler
Bimetal Thermometer
RANGE - The maximum operating pressure
should not exceed 75% of the full-scale range. The normal operating
range should be in the middle half of the range (between 25% and 75%
of the full-scale range); whenever possible.
DIAL SIZE - Select a dial size that allows
you to comfortably read the dial from the normal distance when
installed.
ACCURACY - All Weksler Bimetal Thermometers
have an accuracy of ± 1% of the full-scale range. For accurate
readings stem must be immersed at least 2 inches in liquids and 4
inches in gases.
UNDER/OVER RANGE PROTECTION - Temporary
exposure to temperatures under or over 50% of the full-scale range
will not impair accuracy (up to 500°F or 260°C maximum).
CASE ASSEMBLY - The case, bezel, stem and
fittings are stainless steel (300 series). The head assembly is
sealed to exclude dirt, dust and moisture on 3˝ and 5˝ dial sizes,
all joints are welded.
DIALS - Weksler thermometer dials are white
with clear black graduations and numerals and are easy to read.
FACE - A gasketed glass window is standard
on 3˝ and 5˝ dial sizes. Where breakage is a concern, a Weksler
plastic or shatterproof glass window is optional at extra cost. On
1˝ and 2˝ dial sizes a plastic window is standard (no options
available). Weksler plastic windows are not suitable where head
temperature exceeds 150°F (65°C).
EXTERNAL ADJUSTMENT - An external
adjustment at the rear of the 3˝ and 5˝ case permits adjustment at a
specific point or pointer repositioning during calibration check.
VIBRATION AND SHOCK - If present, use of
either a heavy duty Weksler bimetal, Weksler MIL SPEC BiMetal or a
remote mounted gas actuated Weksler thermometer is recommended.
HIGH PRESSURE OR CORROSIVE APPLICATIONS -
In these applications, use of a separable Weksler thermowell is
recommended. In addition to protecting the thermometer, thermowells
facilitate removal of the thermometer without having to shut down
the system.
