Description
Each thermowell is an important component of any temperature
measurement point. It is used to separate the process from the surrounding
area, thus protecting the environment and operating personnel and keeps
aggressive media, high pressures and flow rates from the temperature sensor
itself and thereby enables the thermometer to be exchanged during operation.
Based on the almost limitless application possibilities,
there are a large number of variants, such as thermowell designs or materials.
The type of process connection and the basic method of manufacture are
important design differentiation criteria. A basic differentiation can be made
between threaded and weld-in thermowells, and those with flange connections.
Furthermore, one can differentiate between fabricated and
solid-machined thermowells. Fabricated thermowells are constructed from a tube,
that is closed at the tip by a welded solid tip. Solid-machined thermowells are
manufactured from barstock.
The TW30 series of solid-machined thermowells for lap flanges
are suitable for use with numerous electrical and mechanical thermometers from
WIKA.
Due to the heavy-duty design, these international design
thermowells are the first choice for use the chemical and petrochemical
industries and in plant construction
