4. Design and function

4.1 Description

The gas-actuated thermometer consists of a stem, capillary, Bourdon

tube and transmitter in the casing. These parts are combined to form

a single unit. The entire measuring system is filled with an inert gas

under pressure.

Any change in temperature causes a change in internal pressure in

the stem, and thus a change in the shape of the pressure element.

This motion is converted, via a mechanical movement, into a

rotational motion. A magnet on the pointer shaft rotates proportionally

to the instrument pointer as a direct linear function of the process

temperature. The downstream electronics detect the rotational motion

of the magnet in the display range.

A magnetic-field dependent rotational sensor picks up this change on

the electronics side, contact-free, wear-free and without reaction on

the pressure element.
