A stainless thermowell with hex compression nut – the well protects the sensor, the compression nut grips and seals the sheath at the fitting face. Stainless throughout suits steam, washdown and corrosive process sides.
Function and Design
Thermowell work is unforgiving: a few hundredths in the wrong place and the assembly will not go together. Tolerances that matter are confirmed with capability data before the thermowell is quoted.
Key Features
- The compression nut grips the sheath and seals the entry – one motion installs and seals at the fitting face.
- Hex flats are held to size so standard wrenches fit and torque goes where it should.
- Stainless stands up to washdown, humidity and process media – no plating to fail.
- Material: Material for the thermowell is stainless steel (304 / 316); the final grade is fixed in writing at drawing review.
- Process: deep drawn thermowell body with in-die piercing, sealing faces finished by turning.
- Finish: The thermowell is finished per print – passivation, plating and coating are all run in house or by audited partners.
- Size: Size per customer drawing.
- Custom: OEM/ODM to drawing; the thermowell is quoted with real lead times, not estimates.
Applications
Typical applications include household appliance thermometers, NTC and PT100 probe assemblies, industrial process instrumentation.
Factory-Direct Advantage
Torque-bearing threads are gauged, not just cut. Batch records are kept against the part number for repeat builds.
