What Are The Applications Of Bimetallic Strip?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A bi-metallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement. Mechanical clock
    mechanisms are sensitive to temperature changes which lead to errors in
    time keeping. A bimetallic strip is used to compensate for this in some
    mechanisms.In the regulation of heating and cooling,
    thermostats
    that operate over a wide range of temperatures the bi-metal strip is
    mechanically fixed and attached to an electrical power source while the
    other (moving) end carries an electrical contact.A direct indicating dial
    thermometeruses a bi-metallic strip wrapped into a coil. One end of the coil is
    fixed to the housing of the device and the other drives an indicating
    needle. A bi-metallic strip is also used in a
    recording thermometer.
