Helical Thermowells
Our helical thermowells are designed to withstand high velocity flow applications, where standard thermowells would often fail.
As a pioneer and global leader in manufacturing thermowells, we ensure the highest quality and precision in every piece we manufacture. Our helical thermowell improves accuracy and response time of temperature measurement, compared to a standard thermowell with greatly increased root-tip diameters and shortened immersion length.
Our helical thermowell features VE Technology, utilizing a design that helps eliminate vortex-induced vibration. VE Technology combines both the helical strakes along with a rounded tip, which break up vortices caused by the flow around the thermowell.
- Reduces amplitude of oscillation by more than 90% compared to standard round bar design.
- Wake frequency calculations are no longer required for helical thermowell. Steady state stress and pressure calculations are sufficient.
- Fewer limitations due to immersion length.
- Standard installation allows for quick install or replacement.
- The small root and tip diameters allow for fast response to temperature variations.
- Perfect for nozzles with small ID and high standoff length.
