Thermowells are closed-end metal tubes installed pressure-tight into process vessels or piping, protecting temperature sensors from harsh industrial process conditions, such as flow-induced stress, high pressure and corrosive chemicals. In addition, thermowells allow the sensor to be easily removed from the process for calibration or replacement without requiring a process shutdown or pipe and vessel drainage. Of the many thermowell designs, the most common are threaded, socket weld and flanged.
