Thermowells  

 

Thermowells are hollow tubes closed off on one end and threaded at the other end. They are permanently placed into pipes, tanks, or 
sumps so that the probes on immersion temperature sensors can be inserted into the pipe. The temperature of the pipe’s contents is 
transferred through the wall of the thermowell. The thermowell prevents the pipe’s contents from escaping and maintains the pressure 
of pressurized pipes.
