WIKA TW40-8, TW40-9 Protection tube with flange – Version per DIN 43772 form 2F, 3F

Each thermowell is an important component of any temperature measurement point. It is used to separate the process from the surrounding area, thus protecting the environment and operating personnel and keeps aggressive media, high pressures and flow rates from the temperature sensor itself and thereby enables the thermometer to be exchanged during operation.

Based on the almost limitless application possibilities, there are a large number of variants, such as thermowell designs or materials. The type of process connection and the basic method of manufacture are important design differentiation criteria. A basic differentiation can be made between threaded and weld-in thermowells, and those with flange connections.

Furthermore, one can differentiate between fabricated and solid-machined thermowells. Fabricated thermowells are constructed from a tube, that is closed at the tip by a welded solid tip. Solid-machined thermowells are manufactured from barstock.

The TW40 series of fabricated thermowells with flange connection are suitable for use with numerous electrical and mechanical thermometers from WIKA.

Due to their design to DIN 43772, these thermowells for low and medium process loads are suitable for use in the chemical industry, process technology and equipment manufacture.
