Vapour Pressure Thermometer [is] a closed system of bulb, capillary & bourdon tube fitted partially with a vapourisable liquid volume sensitive bourdon tube [that] winds - unwinds depending on temperature variations. 4, record 1, English, - vapour%20pressure%20thermometer

A vapor pressure thermometer [contains] a solvent encased in metal attached to a pressure gauge. As the temperature rises, the vapor pressure of the liquid inside rises. Since vapor pressure is independent of the length of the metal tube connected to the pressure gauge, this type of sensor is good for remote places. The bulb is located at the remote site, but the operator reads the pressure gauge at a more convenient area. 2, record 1, English, - vapour%20pressure%20thermometer
