Bimetallic Thermometer Mechanics

Bimetallic thermometer Mechanics
Mechanical bimetal thermometer is a thermometer made ​​of modern day
fruit pieces of metal that has a different coefficient of expansion is riveted
(dipelat) into one. The word itself has a meaning that is bimetallic bi means two
while the word metal is metal, so that the bimetal means "two metal".
Bimetallic pieces intentionally made ​​to have two pieces of metal as pieces
This can be curved if there is a change in temperature. In principle, if the temperature
turned into a high, curved pieces will bimetallic toward metal
keoefisien muainya higher, whereas if the temperature becomes low, the chip
bimetal will bend toward the metal keofisien muainya lower.
Metal with a larger coefficient of expansion (high) will be faster elongated
so that the strip will bend (curve) for the other metals
did not participate again lengthwise. Usually these pieces are made of bimetallic metal
muainya much different coefficients, such as iron and copper.
On the thermometer, bimetal pieces can function as a signpost for
if the pieces received rangsanag of temperature, then the chip will be directly
curved because of the long expansion in the metal.
Besides being used as a thermometer, bimetal pieces are also used in lamps
sein cars, thermostats, irons, etc..
