1.2 Benefits
Thermowells are made from bar stock and from pipe.
Process connection can be threaded, flanged, welded and clamp.
Thermowells are made of different materials that provide corrosion resistance in any of the process.
Possibility of calibration, repair and maintenance of thermometer without stopping of the process.
Endress+Hauser offers a complete range of standardized thermowells. Its construction covers a very large
amount of industrial standards as DIN, Dow Chemical, Du Pont, ENI, etc.
Two different types of thermowell construction are available: from drilled bar stock and from pipe.

3 Installation
Installation of thermowells should be carried out only by qualified and authorized specialists in the
complete absence of pressure at the installation point. Thermowells can be installed on pipes, tanks and
any other parts of the equipment where it is necessary. Seals and gaskets for process connection are
usually not included in the delievery set and customer should provide it separately.

Thermowells for thermometers
Description and cause of accident
Personnel action
Leakage of the working medium (violation
of integrity of the welds between the
submerged part of thermowell and process
connection)
Re-weld the leakage point or replace with a
new thermowell
Leakage of the working medium through
seals (wear of seals the weakening of the
threaded connections)
Tighten threaded connections or replace
gasket
Corrosive or abrasive wear of thermowell
(damage, abrasion, occurrence of holes on
the submersible part due to incorrect choice
of material)
It is necessary to replace it with thermowell
produced of another material, which will
ensure its resistance to mechanical or
corrosive exposure of the working medium.
After mounting of thermowells it is necessary to check tightness of connection on the installation point.
5 Maintenance and repair
Thermowells doesn’t require any special actions for maintenance and repair.
6 Storage and transport
• Transport thermowells to the installation point in original packaging
• Store in a dry and dust-free place
• Storage temperatures: -60…+85°С
7 Conservation
Conservation of thermowells is carried out upon removal from the facility for long term storage. For conservation
it is necessary to eliminate traces of the measured liquid from the surface of the thermowell and remaining oil
from the inside, and then install plugs on it. Conservation of thermowells should be performed according to GOST
9.014-78.
8 Assigned indicators
9 Limit state criteria
The following limit states for operating conditions for thermowells are unacceptable:
• Loss of thermowell tightness
• Occurrence of cracks on the surface of thermowell
10 Occurrence of critical failures
11 Dismantling
In the case if a thermowell reached its limit state, it is necessary to dismantle it, making sure that the system
pressure is shut down.

12 Disposal
The disposal process of thermowells and recycling of materials should be organized so as to prevent pollution of
air, soil and water bodies with harmful substances. Dispose of materials and waste according to the local
regulations.
In general, the safety process for recycling and/or disposal should be provided by:
• Automation and mechanization of technological processes.
• Conduct technological processes in strict compliance with the technical and standard.
• The use of local and general ventilation.
Disposed thermowells do not pose any danger to life, health and the environment. Flowmeters do not contain
any chemical, biological or radioactive elements that could be harmful to human health or the environment.
13 Marking
On thermowell is mentioned its order code, thread type (flange), hole diameter, material of thermowell, lengths
(immersion length, length of conical or truncated tip), the trademark of the manufacturer.
Construction of thermowells doesn't allow to apply on its surface a uniform mark of production circulation at the
market of member States of the Eurasian economic Union, therefore, this sign is applied to technical
documentation package (technical passport, operating instructions).
