5.3.4 Inserting temperature sensors
Follow the steps below to insert temperature sensors into the
thermowell.
Note:
The vessel shown in the following figures is the HyPerforma
Single-Use Mixer (S.U.M.), but the connection process is the same.
1. Remove the plastic insert located in the thermowell, if present.
2. Place a small amount of glycerol (0.5 mL) in the thermowell to aid
in heat transfer. The glycerol also serves as a lubricant and aids in
insertion. Twist the temperature sensor slightly as you begin to insert
it (Figures 5.44 and 5.45).

seat it properly.
3. Insert the temperature sensor until the base of the probe meets the
mouth of the thermowell.
4. Rest the probe in the bellows hook. Release the probe assembly and
verify that the probe remains at the proper insertion depth and angle
when the bellows expand to rest freely in the probe clip.
