FAQ

Q: How does the Model 73 gas-actuated thermometer work?
A: It uses the expansion of gas inside the measuring system. Temperature changes create pressure changes that move the pointer on the dial.

Q: What temperature range can it measure?
A: Depending on configuration, the thermometer can measure temperatures from approximately −200 °C to +700 °C.

Q: Can it be used in outdoor industrial environments?
A: Yes. The stainless-steel construction and IP-rated housing make it suitable for harsh industrial conditions.

Q: Is remote temperature indication possible?
A: Yes. Versions with capillary connections allow the dial indicator to be mounted away from the measuring point.
