Industry knowledge

As a Bimetallic thermometer manufacturer in Jiangsu, China, Jiangsu Zhaolong Electrics Co., Ltd. designs and produces mechanical and digital bimetallic thermometers for direct on-site temperature indication. Since 2005, we have operated a 33,300 m² production base with more than 100 employees and a technical team focused on temperature sensors and temperature control instruments. Our bimetallic thermometer range serves process plants, pipelines, boiler houses, storage facilities, and OEM machinery where operators need a dependable local temperature reading.

The category is organized into two complementary product lines: Bimetallic pointer thermometer for purely mechanical indication and Bimetallic digital thermometer for clearer readouts and mercury-free replacement of older glass thermometers.

Bimetallic Thermometer Range

Both product lines use a bimetallic sensing element that responds to temperature changes without requiring external power for the pointer version. The digital line extends this concept with a more readable display and additional mounting flexibility.

Bimetallic pointer thermometer

Mechanical coiled bimetal helix drives a pointer on a dial. No batteries, no signal wiring, and no electrical components make it a straightforward choice for routine process monitoring.

  • 304 stainless steel construction
  • 1/2 thread and custom stem lengths
  • Axial or radial mounting
  • 1.6 precision pointer movement

Bimetallic digital thermometer

Developed from our WST-101/102 series, this digital display instrument is practical for medium- and low-temperature on-site measurement of liquids and gases. It is designed as a direct replacement for bimetallic, pressure-type, and glass mercury thermometers, without mercury damage risk.

  • 304 stainless steel, panel 50/100 optional
  • M27*2 thread, depth customized, default 150 mm
  • Axial or radial direction
  • Direct replacement for glass mercury thermometers

Application Fit and Industries

Bimetallic thermometers are widely used in chemical processing, natural gas, petrochemical, power, metallurgy, building materials, mechanical industry, food machinery, and daily chemical production. They provide quick visual confirmation during routine inspections, maintenance checks, and process monitoring.

We supply standard configurations for pipes, tanks, and equipment surfaces, as well as custom designs for OEM projects and special plant layouts. Our project team can also design and install automatic temperature control boxes, control rooms, and remote monitoring temperature control systems around our temperature instruments.

Materials, Connections and Configuration

  • Material: Standard wetted parts are 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service in industrial environments.
  • Process connection: M27*2 thread is standard on the digital WST series; 1/2 thread options are available on pointer models. Other thread forms can be quoted on request.
  • Stem depth: Customized to the installation point; default depth is 150 mm.
  • Mounting direction: Axial or radial to suit the pipe or tank position and operator sight line.
  • Dial/panel: Pointer dial types are available in a range of industrial sizes; digital panel 50/100 optional.
  • Replacement value: The WST digital series replaces glass mercury thermometers without hazardous mercury handling, and removes the straight-stem limitation of conventional bimetallic pointer thermometers.

Quality Assurance and Factory Calibration

We implement full-process quality supervision with a modern production line and advanced testing methods. Jiangsu Zhaolong Electrics Co., Ltd. holds ISO9001:2015 quality system certification, CE certification, and multiple invention and utility patents related to temperature measurement.

Our laboratory is equipped for calibration over a temperature range from -200°C to +2000°C with resolution up to 0.01°C and temperature control within ±0.1°C. Each bimetallic thermometer is factory-tested before delivery, and we provide calibration service for instruments that require periodic verification. We back delivered products with a warranty period of up to 12 months against non-human damage and maintain spare parts supply for replacement needs.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

To prepare a configuration and quotation, our engineering team works from the following project information:

  • Working temperature range and normal operating temperature
  • Process media and approximate pressure
  • Required thread size and insertion depth
  • Dial or panel size and axial/radial mounting direction
  • Material requirements for wetted parts and enclosure
  • Pointer or digital display preference
  • Quantity, packaging, and delivery destination
  • OEM drawings or samples for special specifications

For standard WST digital thermometers, our lead time is 5–7 working days for 50 pieces. Custom quantities and non-standard configurations are quoted with the project schedule.

Customer FAQs

What is the difference between your pointer and digital bimetallic thermometers?

The pointer model is a purely mechanical instrument with a dial and requires no power supply. The digital model gives a numerical readout and is designed for easier reading and mercury-free replacement of glass mercury thermometers. Choose pointer for simplicity and no-power installation; choose digital where a clear, unambiguous display is preferred.

Can you supply custom stem length and thread connections?

Yes. Stem depth is customized to your installation point, with a default of 150 mm. Standard thread options include M27*2 on the digital series and 1/2 thread on pointer models. Other thread types can be evaluated against the application.

Are axial and radial mounting versions available?

Both are available. Axial mounting is suitable for top or side installation where the dial faces the operator; radial mounting is used when the dial must be parallel to the pipe or tank. Our configuration team confirms the correct version from the site layout.

What quality evidence do you provide with bimetallic thermometers?

Each instrument is factory-tested before shipment. Our quality system is certified to ISO9001:2015, and relevant products carry CE certification. Calibration service and calibration certificates are available for instruments used in controlled processes.

What is the standard delivery time for bimetallic thermometers?

For the WST digital series, standard delivery is 5–7 working days for 50 pieces. Custom lengths, special materials, and large quantities are scheduled individually and confirmed in our proposal.
