Description
The Every Angle Temperature Gauge is a mechanical bi-metal temperature gauge designed for industrial applications where the dial must remain easy to read regardless of the installation position. Unlike fixed bottom-entry or back-entry gauges, this instrument features a 0° to 330° field-adjustable rotating head, allowing the dial orientation to be adjusted after installation without special tools. This flexibility enables a single gauge to suit a wide range of piping layouts, vessels, tanks, and process equipment, reducing inventory requirements and simplifying maintenance.

FAQs
1. What is an Every Angle Temperature Gauge?
An Every Angle Temperature Gauge is a mechanical bi-metal temperature measuring instrument featuring a rotating adjustable head that allows the dial to be positioned at almost any viewing angle after installation. This design provides convenient and accurate local temperature indication in industrial process applications where the gauge may not face the operator directly.
2. How does an Every Angle Temperature Gauge work?
The gauge uses a bi-metallic strip made from two bonded metals with different thermal expansion rates. As the process temperature changes, the strip bends, and this mechanical movement is transferred through the internal mechanism to the pointer, which accurately displays the temperature on the calibrated dial.
3. What is the advantage of the Adjustable Head?
The adjustable head allows the dial to rotate between 0° and 330°, making the temperature gauge easy to read regardless of the orientation of the pipeline, vessel, tank, machinery, or process equipment. This improves operator visibility and simplifies installation without changing the process connection.
