Abstract
Thermowells are used in various processes as in the Oil & Gas Industry, Life Science Industry or Food & Beverage production to provide a mechanical robust test point for temperature measurement. They enable high immersion length and easier replacement of thermometers. Due to their design, state of the art thermowells decrease the thermal response time of the thermometers. This can be improved significantly by using thermowells with a thermally optimised design. They provide a quicker indication of the process temperature and a more reproducible measurement.
