tajurelement, mida kasutatakse temperatuuri muutusest tingitud mehaaniliseks nihkeks bimetalltemperatuurimõõturites ja mis koosneb kahest erineva metalli ribast
strip that use to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement, and consists of two strips of different metals
Bimetalliriba koosneb kahest erineva metalli ribast mis pikenevad kuumutamisel erinevalt, kusjuures erinevad pikenemised sunnivad lamedat riba kuumutamisel ühesuunaliselt painduma ja suurema soojuspaisumisteguriga metall on riba kuumutamisel kõvera välisküljel ja väiksema soojuspaisumisteguriga metall siseküljel.
Bimetallic strip consists of two strips of different metals which expand at different rates as they are heated, whereat the different expansions force the flat strip to bend one way if heated, and in the opposite direction if cooled below its initial temperature, and the metal with the higher coefficient of thermal expansion is on the outer side of the curve when the strip is heated and on the inner side when cooled
