About the Thermowell Data Sheet
Thermowells fail mainly from flow induced vibration. A data sheet that includes velocity and density lets the vendor check the design against ASME PTC 19.3 TW before purchase.
How to fill in this template
- Fill in process conditions, especially maximum velocity and density.
- Choose profile, connection and insertion length.
- Specify bore to suit the sensor diameter.
- Request the wake frequency calculation and material certificates.
- Issue with the requisition.
What the formulas do
- No formulas: specification document laid out in sections like an ISA 20 style data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is velocity needed?
Vortex shedding frequency rises with velocity; the well must stay clear of resonance.
Tapered or straight?
Tapered wells are stiffer and respond faster; straight wells are cheaper.
What is U length?
The insertion length below the process connection.
