Marshalltown-Tempco Vapor Actuated Thermometers bring economy and accuracy to remote measuring applications within the (- 40º to 350ºF) range. Two basic styles allow either remote mounting of the temperature scale (as far as 75 feet from the sensing bulb) or direct mounting of the Thermometer for local temperature indication. Remote reading units offer, as standard, 6 feet of flexible capillary with double-braided copper armor for greater mechanical protection. Capillaries on center back models are reinforced with stainless steel coiled armor at the case. Bulbs are 3.5" standard ½" NPT union connection.

OPERATING PRINCIPAL:
A vapor actuated thermometer is essentially a pressure system with a sensing bulb at one end connected by a capillary to a pressure gauge at the other. The bulb is filled with a liquid which vaporizes as the temperature rises. This causes the pressure in the guage bourdon tube to rise and move the pointer to indicate the measured temperature.

This temperature-to-pressure relationship is non-linear which means that the graduations on the line end of the scale are close together, whereas the graduation on the upper end are spaced farther apart. Changes in ambient temperature along the capillary or at the scale do not affect the thermometer readout. This means that capillary up to 75' long can be used without the need for ambient temperature compensation.
