Thermometer wells, more commonly known as “thermowells,” are available in threaded, welded, or flanged configurations. They can be machined from solid stock or mechanically welded. The primary function of the thermowell is to allow for the quick replacement of the sensing element without interrupting process operation, especially in the presence of high pressures or high temperatures. Depending on the operating conditions and required positioning, several design options are available: – Mechanically welded, screw-in type with internal and external threads. – Solid-drilled, welded, with internal threads. – Welded with external threads. – Welded with male/female connection.
