Industrial Thermocouples

Drilled Threaded Bar Stock Well Assemblies Tapered & Straight

The most common type of well assembly style and size. Threaded well allows for insertion directly into process lines through pipe TEE’s or Laterals. They can also be inserted into tanks with half couplings or threaded outlets. They are available with a straight shank for longer wear and tapered to limit flow restrictions or when velocity considerations must be taken into account.

Threaded Well Assemblies with Straight Shank See Document TE-CO010109-INTC-020

Drilled Threaded Bar Stock Well Assemblies Alloy Metals, Tapered

Other environments, corrosive conditions or when additional strength is required. Bar stock wells can be fabricated in a number of austenitic, ferritic or martensitic stainless steels, nickel alloys , chrome-molys or other specialty metals. Wrench flats are machined into the neck for installation since these alloys are usually only available in round stock. Wells are available with standard tapered, straight or step down shanks.

Drilled Threaded Bar Stock Well Assemblies Step Down

The stepped down shank construction provides a reduced wall thickness for the remaining 2 1/2″ of well length. This design allows for improved response time of the thermocouple element. Wells 2 1/2″ in length or less are supplied with the 1/2″ diameter step for the entire shank length.

Drilled Socket & Weld-in Bar Stock Well Assemblies

Socket and Weld-in bar stock wells are used in high temperature, high pressure service, most often steam. A regular product for the power industry where absolute leak proof permanent connections are mandatory. Socket wells are inserted into process lines through pipe TEE’s or Laterals or on to branch lines with socket outlets. Weld-in wells are welded directly into heavy wall tanks.

Drilled Flange Bar Stock Well Assemblies Tapered, Straight, Stepped Down Shank

Forged flanges in numerous sizes, ratings and facings mate to existing process flange connections in pipe lines or through welding neck flanges on reactors or tanks. These are available in raised face, flat face and ring joint connection. Flanges are welded to the bar stock stem on both sides. Optional full penetration welds are available for additional leak free protection.

Van Stone Well Assemblies Tapered, Straight

The Van Stone thermowell is machined from a single piece of bar stock with a neck the same as the face diameter of a 1″ or 1 1/2″ flange. This design allows for sandwiching of the van stone between the vessel process flange and a securing slip on flange. This design offers two advantages:

1. Any weld stress is eliminated.
2. The slip on flange not being exposed to the process conditions can be of a less expensive material.

Pipe Well Assemblies Plain, Tapered, Flanged

A lower cost alternative to bar stock wells where pressure and velocities are low. Pipe wells are available in schedule 40, 80, 160 or XX strong, 1/4″ to 1″ pipe size. Plain wells can be welded directly into a tank or simply free hanging, threaded wells are supplied with a welded on NPT bushing for a threaded process connection, flanged pipe wells connect to a mating flange for a stronger connection. Pipe wells are commonly supplied in lengths up to 20 feet.

Ceramocouples®

Ceramocouples® are a cost effective alternative where the process doesn’t require a thermowell or protection tube. Ceramocouples are available with the element sealed to a double ended fitting for a leak proof connection or spring loaded with the element captive to restrict side movement. Reducing bushings can be added for larger process openings.

Oil Seal Thermocouples

Oil seal thermocouples provide an efficient method of measuring bearing temperatures. An “O” ring designed into the assembly prevents the lubricating oil from entering the connection head. Oil seals are available with a floating collar and S head block or O-ring sealing fitting.

Pipe Clamp, Gasket, Right Angle Assemblies

Industrial pipe clamp assemblies measures skin temerature on pipe. Can be mounted to process run pipes from 1/2″ to over 48″.

Industrial gasket assemblies are connected to a metal surface equipped with a stud and 1 1/2″NPT half coupling for a weather tight connection.

Right angle assemblies are for access to the top of tanks with the head extension to the side for a dropped down connection.

Remote Head Mounted Assemblies

A remote mounted head provides assurance that in the event of a well failure, the process media cannot leak into the head. A remote head is also useful where process vibration can cause connection problems within the head. It is an excellent method of utilizing a head where physical clearance at the process connection is limited. Remote head assemblies are supplied with a 1/2″NPT fitting for the well connection, the element terminates to PVC coated flexible armored leads of any length.

Ceramic Protection Tube Assemblies

Ceramic protection tubes are used in high temperature areas where metallic wells are not suitable. Various sizes and materials are available to meet the exact conditions of the process.

Double ceramic tube assemblies provide additional protection from thermal shock during plant startup operations.
