Weiss Industrial Glass Thermometer | A9VU12-30-300 | 12″ Stem | 30 to 300°F/C
Product Description
The A9VU12-30-300 is part of the premium Weiss 9-inch scale industrial series. The “VU” (Vari-angle) designation refers to its fully adjustable mounting system, allowing the thermometer head to be rotated 360° and tilted 180°. This flexibility is critical for technicians in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to ensure perfect scale visibility even when pipes are located in high-reaching or awkward overhead positions.
This model is scaled for 30 to 300°F (0 to 150°C), making it highly versatile for monitoring domestic hot water, low-pressure steam, and medium-temperature industrial processes. The standout feature is the 12-inch (300 mm) stem, specifically designed for extra-large diameter pipes or systems with extremely thick thermal insulation, ensuring the sensor reaches the true core temperature of the fluid flow.
Key Features
- Universal Vari-angle Flexibility: The head can be adjusted in seconds to any viewing angle in the field, eliminating the need for specialized rigid-style inventory.
- Extra-Long 12″ Industrial Stem: Specifically engineered for deep immersion in large pipelines and headers, bypassing thick insulation with ease.
- High-Temperature Resolution: The 30-300°F range is ideal for low-pressure steam and high-temperature water applications.
- Mercury-Free Blue Liquid: Utilizes a non-toxic blue spirit liquid that is environmentally safe and provides high visibility against the white scale.
- Rugged Valox® Case: Housed in an impact-resistant GE Valox® polyester case, built to withstand the extreme heat and humidity of UAE mechanical rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why would I need a 12″ stem?
- A: A 12″ stem is necessary for very large pipes (16″ or larger) or when pipes have more than 3-4 inches of insulation. It ensures the thermometer bulb is submerged deep into the active flow rather than just near the pipe wall.
- Q: Is this suitable for high-pressure steam?
- A: It is suitable for low-pressure steam up to 300°F. For high-pressure steam with higher temperatures, you would require the 50-550°F
- 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.
