Bi-metal - Fundamentals
A bi-metallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
The strip consists of two layers, usually iron and copper. The two layers are joined together to form the strip.
Owing to the difference in the constants of expansion of the two materials, a flat strip will bend one way (toward the iron part) if heated, and in the opposite direction if cooled below its normal temperature.
In some applications the bi-metal strip is used in the flat form. In others, it is wrapped into a coil, which gives greater sensitivity in compact spaces.

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
