Condition
Prior to mounting, make sure that the device is appropriately applied for the process
connection, media compatibility, temperature resistance and measuring range. See chapter
Technical data (Page 45).
Procedure
1. Prevent faults caused by heat dissipation in non-representative placings by observing the
following rules:
2. Select an optimal immersion depth. Estimate the immersion depth using the formulas in
Table 8-16 Estimation of immersion depth (Page 57).
If the flow rate allows, sensor placing between 1/3 and 1/2 of the pipe diameter is
recommended.
3. If the process load on the thermowell allows the exposition, select a measurement
location with a high flow rate.
4. Ensure sufficient thermal insulation of the external components of the thermometer.
5. Ensure that external parts have as small surfaces as possible.
6. Select the optimum mounting position for the process in question.
