DESCRIPTION: Since in many applications it is not practical or possible to directly expose temperature sensors to the process fluid, it is therefore necessary to install thermowells. Thermowells are the mechanical barrier that protects the sensor, to maintain the transmission /indication of the generated signal, at all times, and must with stand the same operating conditions including the conditions that it generates and the useful life of the element to which it is associated.
Denomination
Thermowells in drilled bar.
Characteristics
- Rules of design: ASME PTC 19.3, API RP 551, ATEX, IECEx.
- Materials:
– On request.
– Ceramics for interior of furnaces.
– Plastic or metal coatings for extremely corrosive environments and abrasive fluids. - Sizes of manufacturing: ½” – 3” Maximum lenght 1500 mm.
Applications
– Nuclear industry.
– Chemical and petrochemical industry.
– Aeronautical and aerospace industry.
– Corrosive environments.
– Renewable energy industry.
– Areas classified ATEX 2014/34/EU and IECEx with explosion protection mode and intrinsic safety.
Notes
– Maximum operating temperature: According to flanges rating, tube thickness and materials.
– ATEX 2014/34/EU and IECEx certification for the complete set consisting of connection head with ceramic terminal block or temperature ransmitter, sensor element (Thermocouple /RTD), joint accessories and thermowell for process connection (with or without flange).
– Maximum operating pressure: According to flanges rating, tube thickness and materials.
Common types
For more details see specific catalog.
Forged Thermowells improve the ability of materials to fatigue from vibrations. Non-destructive testing carried out both by external laboratories and internally in our test laboratory.
Explosive atmosphere certifications available for complete sensor equipment, thermowell, and connection head or transmitter. ATEX 2014/34/EU and IECEx certification for the complete set consisting of connection head with ceramic terminal block or temperature transmitter, sensor element (Thermocouple/RTD), joint accessories and thermowell for process connection (with or without flange).
