Thermowells with flange connection
The flange dimensions of the thermowell must match those of the mating flange on the process
side. The seals used must be suitable for the process and the flange geometries (consult the
delivery note). The correct tightening torques and suitable tools (e.g. spanner) should be used
for installation. For thermowells with a collar, make sure that it matches the inner diameter of the
coupling and is supported by it. In the case of an interference collar, they should be adapted to
the inner diameter of the coupling.
Due to the risk of crevice corrosion, the screw-welded model TW10-S is not suitable for use in
aqueous media.
Irrespective of the process connection, 3 mounting positions of thermowells in pipes are possible:
Right-angled position with respect to the flow (most unfavourable position)
