Thermowells Brochure

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. They are also used for isolation, so a sensor can be replaced without having to shut down the process. Thermowells are machined from solid barstock. Safe working pressures depend on the well material, operating temperature and the velocity of the flowing medium. Thermo-Kinetics stocks a complete range of standard tapered, straight and reduced-tip 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 meet unique requirements.
