Bimetal Disc-Type Thermostats
High Temperature
The exterior housings of disc type thermal controls are commonly made of ceramic or some type of plastic material. The type and temperature rating of the plastic materials vary between the different manufacturers of these devices. Some manufacturers utilize higher temperature plastic materials that make them suitable for operating temperature up to 200°C. The housing of these controls can also be made from various types of ceramic materials making them good choices for very high temperature applications, in some cases well over 300°C.
