Bimetallic Thermometer Overview by Sundaram Shukla is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A bimetallic thermometer uses two different metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion bonded together. As temperature changes, the metals expand or contract at different rates, causing the strip to bend. This movement is used to indicate temperature - spiral strip types have a pointer attached, while helical types record temperature on heating and cooling. Bimetallic thermometers are inexpensive and robust but less accurate at low temperatures or if handled roughly. They are commonly used in d
