Liquid in glass thermometer
A thermometer in which the thermally sensitive element is a liquid contained in a graduated glass envelope; the indication of such a thermometer depends upon the difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the liquid and the glass; mercury and alcohol are liquids commonly used in meteorological thermometers.

Maximum Registering Thermometers
Easy Shaker Type Maximum Thermometers
These thermometers are useful for determining the highest temperature attained in locations where it is inconvenient or impossible to measure the temperature with a conventional indicating, thermometer. Designed with a constriction in the mercury column, these thermometers will display and retain the highest temperature obtained until manually 'shaken down' or reset, similar to a fever thermometer. Thermometers are furnished in protective cases with a pocket clip or as a refill thermometer only. Length approximately 5-1/2"
Thermal Power Industry Thermometers
IP/ASTM Thermometers
We also manufacture thermometers in accordance with the specification drawn up by IP (Institute of Petroleum) and ASTM American Society for Testing and Materials. These thermometers are specifically meant for thermal power plants, refineries and find uses in other industries also.
Over traditional thermometers that take 15+ minutes to indicate the final temperature and that too with error.
ST-501 Super Precision PRT thermometer
The super thermometer ST-501 main purpose is to measure temperature with high accuracy.
It uses platinum resistance thermometers sensors and it also accepts standard thermocouples.
The digital electronic indicator can be offered complete including the temperature sensor and calibration certificate of the system.
Steel Industry Thermometers:-
Coke Oven Flue
Temperature measurement of the Coke Oven Flue provides vital information on the condition and efficiency of the oven battery. The life of the oven, the quality and quantity of the throughput are all related to the balance and temperature levels in the heating chambers.
The thermometers track across the length of both walls of the oven as it is pushed to produce a complete temperature profile.
