Weiss Bimetal Dial Thermometer | 5VBM12-0-200 | 5″ Dial | 12″ Stem

Product Description

The 5VBM12-0-200 is engineered for environments where temperature must be monitored clearly from a distance, such as high-ceiling plant rooms or large mechanical galleries. The “5VBM” designation identifies this as a 5-inch (125 mm) Dial thermometer with a Vertical (Bottom) Mount connection. This vertical orientation is ideal for installation on top of horizontal pipelines, providing a clear, upright display for operators in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

This model features a temperature range of 0 to 200°F (-10 to 93°C), making it versatile for monitoring domestic hot water supply, heating water loops, and warm water process lines. The standout feature is the 12-inch (300 mm) stem, specifically designed for extra-large diameter pipes or systems with thick thermal insulation (up to 4 inches), ensuring the sensor reaches the true core of the fluid flow.

Key Features

• Massive 5″ High-Visibility Dial: The oversized display with high-contrast markings allows technicians to check critical temperatures from a distance without needing a ladder or close access.
• 12″ Extra-Long Industrial Stem: Provides the necessary reach for very large pipelines and heavily insulated systems common in UAE infrastructure projects.
• All-Stainless Steel Construction: Both the case and the stem are crafted from 304 Stainless Steel, offering superior resistance to the high humidity and corrosive air of the Middle East.
• Hermetically Sealed Case: Vacuum-sealed to prevent internal fogging and moisture ingress, ensuring the dial remains crystal clear in humid mechanical rooms.
• External Recalibration: Includes an easy-to-use adjustment screw on the back of the case for simple field calibration to maintain precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why would I need a 12″ stem?
  • A: District heating pipes or large condenser water lines often have 3-4 inches of insulation. A 12″ stem ensures the thermometer bypasses this insulation and reaches the center of the pipe flow for an accurate reading.
• Q: Is the dial glass or plastic?
  • A: This model typically comes with a heavy-duty Instrument Glass window, providing maximum clarity and resistance to scratching in industrial settings.
• Q: Does this include the thermowell?
  • A: For pressurized applications, it must be installed in a 12″ Weiss Thermowell (typically model E12-35BS) to prevent system leaks and allow for maintenance without shutdown.
