Sanitary, Weld-In Thermowells are offered in 304 and 316 stainless steel. They are available in a variety of lengths, process connection sizes, and optional lagging extensions. This type of thermowell is designed to be welded into a tank or vat with a full crevice-free fillet-weld to prevent corrosion, bacteria growth, and product contamination. Thermowells are supplied with a surface finish that meets or exceeds 32 µin R_a. Surface finishes of 15 µin R_a or better are available upon request. These thermowells are designed with standard 0.260" or 0.385" bore diameter to accommodate sensing elements with a 0.252" or 0.377" maximum diameter, respectively. These wells are available as separate components or as part of complete sensor assemblies.
