Temperature sensors—whether thermocouples (TCs) or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)—are essential in industrial processes. However, what happens when the protective thermowell housing fails? Thermowells are often considered simple metal sleeves that shield sensors from extreme...

Temperature sensors, such as thermowells, thermocouples, and RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensors, are essential in industrial, semiconductor, solar and scientific applications. However, over time, these sensors wear out or become defective, requiring replacement. Proper...

Industrial environments are often harsh, with high pressures, corrosive chemicals, and mechanical stresses that can damage temperature sensors and compromise their accuracy. Ensuring that sensors are well-protected in these challenging conditions is critical to maintaining reliable...

This RTD Sensor & Helical Strake Thermowell Assembly project addressed critical challenges in the oil and gas sector, pushing us to rethink traditional approaches. By overcoming extreme conditions with a custom-engineered solution, we were able to develop a reliable temperature...

We previously had the opportunity to work on a fast-track project for a prominent oil and gas customer who was facing a critical pipeline shutdown. This customer wasn’t new to us—they first came to us back in 2003. After 20 years, they returned, seeking a reliable temperature sensing...

Thermowells are critical components in temperature measurement systems, providing a protective barrier between temperature sensors and harsh process environments. Therefore the choice of material for each application is an important part of the design process, as it directly impacts...
