Total immersion vs partial immersion

Thermometers are immersed into the liquid to a specific immersion length. This is 76mm for all Brannan thermometers. The remaining section of the stem is exposed to the air and is often called the energent stem column.

Dial thermometers - glycerine/oil filled

A filled thermometer is essentially a dry thermometer where the casing has been filled with fluid - usually glycerine or silicone - although other liquids can be used. They are usually used where the thermometer is going to be operating in a harsh environment and is likely to encounter vibrating loads and dynamic shock.

Dial thermometers - thermowells

A thermowell is a hollowed-out piece of metal and are designed to protect against high temperatures, pressure and harsh environments which may cause damage to a temperature sensor. Thermowells encase and protect temperature sensors from harmful effects they are immersed into by insulating the temperature sensor against the temperature of the process.

Dial thermometers - types of dial thermometers

A dial thermometer uses a needle on a circular scale which indicates changes in temperature when used in certain operating systems. Dial thermometers consist of two main components: the needle and the temperature sensor. There are three different types of dial thermometers and each work in different ways, these are:
