Thermowells for Temperature Sensors

Thermowells are small tubular fittings which are used in temperature measurement to protect the temperature sensor from damage that could occur during an industrial process. Thermowells are otherwise commonly known as solid drilled pockets as they consist of a metal bar stock that is drilled to create an open end where the sense is inserted. If the sensor was to break during application, the user could easily replace the existing sensor with a new one.

Common uses of thermowells are very similar to that of other components. They can be used in both an existing temperature sensor setup or can be added to a new design specification. They are used in many high temperature applications because they can work effectively up to temperatures surrounding 1200 °C.

Mineral Insulated RTDs

We manufacture and design mineral insulated resistance thermometers. Resistance thermometers are often called platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs), resistance thermometer detectors (RTDs) or simply Pt100 sensors. Mineral insulated resistance thermometers consists of an external metal sheath which protects the P100 element from damage and contamination. This outer sheath is insulated with magnesium oxide powder, tightly packed so no air is trapped inside. This not only gives great thermal conductivity but mineral insulated RTD can be bent into a variety of shapes to suit your application.

Thermocouple Inserts

Thermocouple Inserts are commonly used in pocket, thermowell or head assemblies. They are constructed with thermocouple elements insulated and protected by mineral insulated powder, which is then packed inside a rigid metal tube. They are very similar to mineral insulated thermocouples but they cannot be bent to shape.

Mineral Insulated Thermocouples

We manufacture and design mineral insulated thermocouples. Mineral insulated thermocouples consist of an outer metal sheath which protects the thermocouple elements from damage and contamination, this sheath is malleable so mineral insulated thermocouples can be easily bent and formed into a variety of shapes to suit your application. The inner thermocouple elements are insulated with magnesium oxide powder, tightly packed so no air is trapped inside, this provides great thermal conductivity.
