TESTS ON MERCURY-IN-GLASS THERMOSTATS

Abstract

The thermostats were tested for accuracy of calibration at the operating temperatures, sensitivity, the effect of shock, accuracy of dimensions, degree of recession of the mercury column at -10 C, the degree of extension of the column at 100 C, and all other requirements (where possible) under the appropriate specifications.
