The purpose of thermowells is to protect the thermal elementsfrom mechanical damage and corrosion or to act as sightingtubes for radiation thermometers. Some of these protective
sockets have already been discussed in other sections of thisvolume. These references include Figure 4.2d in connectionwith bimetallic thermometers; Figure 4.6e in connection with

Thediscussion here will build on (but not repeat) what was alreadysaid in connection with the noted figures.
INTRODUCTION
Thermowells permit the removal of thermal elements forcalibration, replacement, or repairs and also allow the use ofportable sensors. The well or protection tube is permanentlyinserted into the pipe or vessel and is secured by threads,flanges, or welds, allowing the thermal element to be insertedinto the well without causing any stress (Figure 4.14a).
THERMOWELL TYPES
Thermowells are usually metallic and may be coated withother materials to provide additional corrosion protection.Integral flanges or threaded sections enable the wells to besecured to the pipe or vessel (Figure 4.14b). Internal threadssecure nipples which extend the head beyond any insulation.It is important to avoid contamination of temperature sensorsby oil (such as cutting oils) left on the inner surface of drilledwells or accumulations of foreign materials within wells.
Protection Tubes
Protection tubes can also be ceramic when used to protectnoble metal thermocouples (TCs) or as sighting tubes forradiation pyrometers. While not as strong as metallic ther-mowells, they do not droop and can withstand higher tem-peratures; in addition, they are free of contamination whichcan cause thermocouple drift due to vapor deposition of ele-ments at higher temperatures. Mullite and high-purity alu-mina are commonly used as ceramic thermowell materials.In addition to being corrosion-resistant, mullite can operateup to 3200
°
F (1750
°
C) and alumina up to 3540
°
F (1950
°
C).When platinum TCs are used at temperatures exceeding2200
°
F (1200
°
C), mullite should not be used, because itcontains impurities that can contaminate platinum. For suchapplications, high-purity alumina is the proper choice.
Dual protection tubes may be used where the outer tubeprovides mechanical protection and the inner tube providescorrosion or permeation protection. See Figure 4.14c for anexample of protective layers used on a high-temperature TC.
The sheaths are either extruded or woven and are usedto protect TCs or other wires. Woven sheaths are similar tothose used for electrical insulation and may be made ofstainless steel, Inconel, tinned copper, fiberglass, or ceramics.They can withstand temperatures up to 2200
°

Sheaths
Extruded sheaths can be plastic or metallic. The metallicsheaths are commonly used for mineral-insulated thermo-couples in which the wire elements are surrounded by

ceramic oxides such as magnesium oxide (Figure 4.14d).After being packed with powdered oxides, the sheaths areswaged or rolled under pressure to reduce their diameterand tightly pack the powdered insulation. While this pro-cess serves to reduce intrusion of atmosphere within thesheath, it does not protect against humidity or moisture.Moisture intrusion is rapid and deteriorates insulation resis-tance to the point of thermocouple failure. Procedures forinsulation resistance testing are to be found in the AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials documentation. Such test-ing is vital for mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed TCsstored in the open at construction sites or in repair shopsfor periods of time. Sheathing can also cause vapor transferat elevated temperatures, which can result in thermocoupledrift. This is the case with stainless steel sheaths used fornickel-bearing TCs such as types K and N. The offendingelement is manganese, and the problem can be eliminatedby specifying low-manganese Inconel or modified Nicrosilsheathing.
THERMOWELL INSTALLATION
Well installation should be planned so that the wells are readilyaccessible for servicing and the thermal elements can be with-drawn without obstruction by adjacent structures. It is desirableto install spare wells for calibration purposes so the workingsensor can be compared to a standard temperature sensor.
Vertical installation is preferred for very high temperatureuse to prevent sagging. Horizontal installation, on the otherhand, avoids some contamination by foreign materials(Figure 4.14e). In horizontal installations, consideration shouldbe given to the possibility that construction or repair person-nel might misuse the wells as steps.
Immersion Depth
The thermowell immersion depth (U) should be sufficientto eliminate conduction error. A general rule is to use aninsertion length equaling a minimum of 10 times the diameterof the protection tube or well. Another rule of thumb is tohave the sensitive portion of the sensor immersed to a depthof a minimum of 3 in. (75 mm) plus the length of the sensitiveportion. In the case of expansion bulbs, the immersion depthmay be specified by the supplier or can be indicated on acalibration report, if furnished.
For pipe installations, such as steam or hot water lines,insertion in an elbow on the axis of the pipe can permit anappropriate immersion depth should the diameter of the pipe

Temperature Measurement
When installing thermowells at an angle or in elbows, itis hard to maintain sanitary conditions, which is an importantconsideration in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Thermowells inserted into small pipes can also cause exces-sive flow restrictions, pressure drops, or even plugging.
Thermowell Time Constants
The time constant of a thermal element increases with itsmass. If time constants of a couple of seconds or less arerequired, unprotected, small diameter, and bare thermal ele-ments must be used. The addition of even a thin-walledsheath or thermowell increases the time constant to about 5s as a minimum, and with larger bulbs it can reach 30 s. Itis also important to maintain positive contact between thethermal element and the well in order to make sure that thetemperature being measured reflects the temperature of theprocess on the outside and not the air temperature on theinside of the well.
If the process gases include hydrogen and a filled thermalelement is used, it might be a good idea to vent the well,since hydrogen can damage the filling material.
In Table 4.14g, well material recommendations are givenfor a variety of services.
