WARNING:All bimetal thermometers shouldbe selected considering themedia and the ambient operatingconditions. Improper applicationcan be detrimental to the ther-mometer, cause failure and pos-sibly personal injury or propertydamage. Inaccuracies resultingfrom improper setting of theexternal adjustment by the usermay cause personal injury orproperty damage. Consult ASMEB40.3 for guidance in selectionand use of bimetal thermometers.

TEMPERATURE RANGESStandard Fahrenheit and Celsius ranges havebeen established to encompass all normaltemperature measurement requirements. Abimetal thermometer can be used at an oper-ating temperature anywhere throughout its dialrange. Provision should be made for extremetemperature conditions. No bimetal thermome-ter should be exposed continuously to processtemperatures over 800°F (425°C).

OPERATING CONDITIONSThe temperature of the case should be nomore than 200°F (95°C); liquid filled 150°F(65°C). Temperatures beyond this value maycause discoloration of the dial or result inincreased pressure inside the casing whichcould ultimately lead to the failure of thewindow.

THERMOWELLSThermowells must be used on any applicationwhere the stem of the bimetal thermometermay be exposed to pressure, corrosive fluidsor high velocity. Additionally, the use of a ther-mowell permits instrument interchange or cali-bration check without disturbing or closingdown the process.

POINTERSThe pointers are balanced to close tolerancesand the paint finishes are controlled to assurelong-term stability under adverse ultravioletconditions.

CASESThere are three case styles. The CI series hasno adjustment but is hermetically sealed. TheEI series has an external adjustment and ishermetically sealed. The EL series providesthe same features as the EI plus the addedbenefit of liquid filling. The instruments areleak tested to ensure the integrity of the joints.

COILSThe bimetallic coils are carefully wound andinspected. Each is heat treated for optimumstability and overtemperature capability.

BEARINGSThe bearings are made of Teflon or other lowfriction material.

SHAFTSShafts are made of specially drawn stainlesssteel wire with a very smooth finish.

DIALSThe dials are based on computer-calculatedtemperature deflection data and have theMaxivision® format to minimize parallax error.

WINDOWSThe standard windows are heavy-duty glass.Plastic and shatterproof glass are optional.

EI Case StyleThis series has a hermetically sealed

case and external adjustment.Connection locations are rear,

lower and Everyangle. Thehermetic seal prevents

entry of moisture intothe casing, minimizingthe possibility of icing

or fogging insidethe case.

CI Case StyleThis style is tam-per resistant and

hermetically sealed.Connection loca-

tions are rear andlower. The CI Series

was designed for applica-tions where external

adjustment or pointer reset are not desired. Hermetic sealing

reduces the problems created by moisture entering the case.

EL Case StyleThis series is liquid filled –

prolonging instrument life. Potential wear problems caused by excessive

vibration are minimized through dampening, and the liquid medium

improves readability. External adjustment is standard in the

rear of the case.

Everyangle CaseConnection

This design providesmaximum utility. The

entire dial face can berotated 360 degrees,

and angled 180degrees by position-

ing the harness on the back of the case.

The instrument can be installed almost anywhere and can be adjusted so that

the dial can be easily read.

Introduction

The complete line of Ashcroft industri-al bimetal thermometers and acces-sories provides quality choices for yourtemperature applications. There is along history of superior quality inengineering, manufacturingand customer service of theseproducts. Each Ashcroftindustrial bimetal thermome-ter is backed by a limitedfive year warranty.

Each instrument is man-ufactured to a standardaccuracy of 1% of span(ASME B40.3, Grade A)traceable to the NationalInstitute of Standards andTechnology (NIST). The bimetalcoils are heat treated for stability andovertemperature capability. A singlehelix is used to reduce lag time. Thebearings are made of a low-friction long-life material. The shafts are made of spe-cially drawn stainless steel with a verysmooth finish. All joints are welded, andthe weld between the stem and the out-let is located at the bottom of the threadsto eliminate the possibility of crevice corrosion.

Silicone dampening is included forimproved vibration resistance. TheAshcroft Maxivision® dial eliminatesparallax error by placing thepointer in the same plane asthe graduations. The dialcan be rotated 360degrees and can beangled 180 degrees withthe Everyangle™

connection.

To meet your emer-gency delivery require-ments, Dresser InstrumentDivision offers the GoldServicesm delivery program.Ashcroft industrial bimetal thermometers can be shipped in 2 to 5 working days fromour Stratford, Connecticut,USA, manufacturing plant. We also have an extensive stocking distributornetwork throughout the United Statesand international locations.
