ATLANTA, April 20, 2006 -- WIKA Instrument Corp., the world's foremost provider of pressure and temperature instrumentation, announces that it has been awarded a U.S. Patent for its Dampened Movement Bi-Metal Thermometer. This product was developed and engineered in WIKA's U.S. headquarters located in Lawrenceville, GA.

As a silicone-free thermometer, the unit achieves the effect of silicone fill but in a dry case. It's a cost-effective alternative to having the thermometer silicone filled. In addition, the thermometer offers temperature ranges that are not possible with a case fill. It has an accuracy of within 1% of full scale (ASME B40.100 Grade A).
