PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE

Thermowells
Thermowells are principally used with Thermocouples, RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and Bimetal Thermometers in applications where it is necessary to measure temperature at high pressure (above 75 psig) or in hostile environments. Thermowells are machined from solid barstock. Safe working pressures depend on the well material, operating temperature and the velocity of the flowing medium. Tapered wells are used in many process applications and provide greater strength, faster response times and more resistance to vibration than straight wells. The taper provides a higher natural frequency which permits use at higher fluid velocities. The reduced tip on a straight well improves response time when it is used with a length sensitive sensor such as an RTD or Bimetal Thermometer. Thermowells are more likely to fail from vibratory stress than from the effects of temperature and pressure. ASME calculations can be used to determine if the selected thermowell dimensions are adequate to withstand the specified service conditions of temperature, pressure, velocity and vibration. Thermo-Kinetics stocks a complete range of standard thermowells to meet most applications. Flanged, Socket Weld, Van Stone, Ground Joint and Weld-in thermowells are also available. Special wells in various materials, sheaths and coatings are also available to meet unique requirements. A Material Selection Guide is included in this Product Reference Guide.

THERMOWELL IMMERSION LENGTH

The insertion length (U length) of a thermowell should be long enough to permit the entire length of the sensing element to project into the medium being measured in order to prevent errors resulting from insufficient immersion. For liquids, insertion length = sensitive length + 2 inches For air & gases, insertion length = sensitive length + 4 inches Pipes should be insulated to minimize heat loss due to heat flow along the thermowell. For higher velocities, refer to chart on page 9 or the calculations on our web site.

Tapered vs Straight Wells Tapered shank wells provide greater stiffness with the same sensitivity. The higher strength-to-weight ratio gives these wells a higher natural frequency than the equivalent length straight shank well, thus permitting operation at a higher fluid velocity. If vibratory stress is a potential problem, tapered wells should be used.

Velocity Rating Thermowells are more likely to fail from the vibratory stress to which they are subjected, rather than from the effects of temperature and pressure. Fluid flowing past a thermowell creates a turbulent wake, which causes alternating lateral forces on the well perpendicular to the direction of flow. This wake (or Strouhal) frequency (fw) is proportional to fluid velocity and well dimensions. If the wake frequency coincides with (or comes within 20% of) the natural frequency of the well, the resultant vibration could cause mechanical failure of the well. Thermowells are also normally safe if the natural frequency is well below the wake frequency or if the fluid velocity continually fluctuates through the critical velocity point. The ASME calculations (PTC 19.3) are used to determine if the selected well dimensions provide a well strong enough to withstand the specified service conditions of temperature, pressure, velocity and vibration. The calculations are applicable for tapered wells with a fluid velocity less than 300 fps.

TANTALUM SHEATH
Tantalum sheaths protect Thermowells in corrosive processes such as chlorine, bromine, hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids. Tantalums high thermal conductivity and the thin-wall design of the sheath allow for rapid heat transfer. Since corrosion is not a problem with tantalum, it is best suited for Thermowells immersed directly into the process. The sheath covers the wetted parts of the well and must be ordered with the well to ensure correct fit. Standard thickness is .013 with a .015 flange. When using a sheath, a lower grade material may be used for the well. Option code A is for tantalum, code B for user specified material. Other sheath materials include titanium, zirconium, and molybdenum. Applies to straight wells only.

PROTECTIVE COATINGS
Chemical corrosion resistance can be improved by the addition of a fluoroplastic protective coating such as Teflon, to the thermowell. Teflons ability to tolerate harsh chemical environments, makes it ideal for use in highly corrosive applications such as acid and caustics, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, etc, where the temperature is less than 200C (400F). The Teflon coating is applied to the wetted parts of the thermowell (most commonly to flanged or Van Stone type) and is approximately 8 10 mil thick. Option code C specifies Teflon coating; code E is for user specified material. Other protective coatings are materials such as Kynar, Tantalum, Hastelloy C are available. Hard facing the thermowell with wear resistant material such as stellite, can enhance wear resistance and minimize erosion due to particle bombardment encountered in processes such as coal pulverizing, decoking, etc. The hard face coating is usually applied on the finished dimensions of the well, and is approximately 1/32 thick (therefore the well OD will be 1/16 larger). Option code D is for Stellite #6 coating; code E allows for user specified coating. Other hard face coatings can include: tungsten carbide, metco, alumina ceramic, boron nitride, chrome oxide. Specify coating material, length to be coated, thickness of coating and finish to be applied to coating. Teflon is a trademark of E I du Pont Kynar is a trademark of Pennwalt Corp. Stellite is a trade name of Deloro Stellite Hastelloy is a trademark of Haynes International Inc.
