How do you know when to bend the glass tube?
When the heated glass first begins to sag.
Who invented the bimetal thermometer?
John Harrison
What is the bimetal mechanical thermometer?
The bimetal mechanical thermometer uses one end of a bimetallic coil connected to the housing of the device and the other end drives an indicating needle. The bimetal mechanical thermometer is often used in things like refrigerators, air conditioners and heat control.
To bend your finger back... you bend it the opposite way to forwards?
yes,just bend it backwards.I know how to bend my pointer finger back and that's what I do.Everytime I do it people say ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
What is two strips of different metals welded together causing the strip to bend when heated?
That's a "bi-metal" or "bi-metallic" strip.
What does a bimetal thermometer do?
A bimetal thermometer is two strips of different metals that have been stuck together. because the two metals will have differing rates of expansion under heat, the strip will bend towards one side. if the thermometer is colder than standard temperature, the strip will bend towards the side with a higher expansion rate, and if it is hotter, than it will bend towards the metal with the lower expansion rate. Because the expansion is a fixed property of a metal, a bimetal thermometer will have a relative accuracy because of them.
Does the bimetallic strip bend when heated?
yes
What is a bimetic strip?
A bi-metal strip is a bimetallic strip that is used to convert temperature changes into mechanical movement. It consists of two metals that expand by different amounts when the temperature changes, so it will bend when heated.
What happens when cans are in a heated area?
The cans mely or bend!:^)

What is the part of the mantle that can bend plastic?
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?
Why can a glassblower bend and shape a piece of glass that has been heated?
When glass is heated to a certain point it becomes easy to shape. It can be bent and shaped into many ways.
What is the part of the mantle that bend like plastic?
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called _________?

How does bimetal function?
A bi-metal is constructed with two dissimilar metals bonded together. The expansion factor is different in each metal. When heat is applied the bi-metal will bend in the direction of the metal with the least amount of expansion factor.

How do temperature sensors work in automatic cookers?
A temperature sensor, as found in autommatic cookers, toasters, and coffee makers, etc. is simply a switch which cuts the power when a given temperature is achieved. A common switch is one constructed of two dissimilar metal such as copper and nickel. When bonded together and heated, the different linear expansion rates of the two metals causes the bimetal switch to bend, thus breaking the electrical contact in the appliance. When the temperature begins to drop, the bimetal switch begins to straighten out and thus closes the switch re-establishing electrical contact. This sequence is repeated constantly while the appliance is in use.
