Need remote temperature measurement with analog meter display
(OP)
Need a method to measure temperature remotely and display on an analog meter. We presently use remote reading vapor actuated dial thermometers, which use a capillary tube. These work well, but the machines they are mounted on are broken into sections for shipping. Presently the thermometers are mounted on a section, so that it is not necessary to disconnect the capillary. We want to panel mount the temperature gauges in a central location, and 20 foot long capillaries that would need reconnecting are problematic. Would like to use RTDs, thermocouples, or whatever works, but our industry wants an analog meter (dial type) display. How can I do this? What manufactures have this type of temperature gauge?

Many mfgs make dial gauges that appear analog but are actually digital displays (the needle is digital). Another mfg is Weshler.

and any analog meter as display. It needs power supply
which can be very cheap if the whole circuit can be under line voltage, else it needs a cheap transformer.
How many do you need?

Use that with a 4-20mA analog display and you should be all set.
