Thermowell Fitting Accessories
-
Installing temperature sensor assembles into thermowell or directly into the process requires the use of some kind of brass or stainless steel fitting.
-
Fitting include various threaded unions, bayonet cap (and adapters) and flange.
-
Adjustable flange can similarly be used to sensor assembly into the process.
-
Bayonet caps provide a method of quick fitting into suitable adapters located in the process; this technique is widely used in plastics machinery.
-
Bushes and hexagon plugs are used when adjustment or removal is a lesser consideration.
-
The choice of fitting may be dictated by the need for pressure integrity or by physical size constraints.
-
Compression fitting and threaded bushes can be supplied with tapered threads to achieve a pressure tight connection.
