Thermowells

Explore Ashcroft® thermowells for your specific application.

Ashcroft offers a selection of thermowells to protect thermometer stems and bulbs from corrosive media, system pressure and high velocity flow.  They also allow removal of the temperature measurement instrument without the need to shut down the process. Industry standard threaded, flanged, socket weld, Van Stone, weld-in and sanitary thermowells in a wide variety of lengths and materials are available to match nearly any temperature measurement device and fit any installation to meet industry standards

Types of Thermowells

Ashcroft offers a broad range of thermowells engineered to protect temperature instruments from pressure, corrosion, high flow velocities, and harsh process conditions. Available in a variety of process connection styles, Ashcroft thermowells help extend instrument life while allowing removal of temperature sensors without interrupting the process.

Threaded Thermowells – Built for general industrial and process applications requiring reliable instrument protection with threaded process connections.

Flanged Thermowells – Engineered for high-pressure and critical process applications requiring flanged connections and enhanced mechanical strength.

Socket Weld Thermowells – Designed for welded process connections where exposed threads are undesirable, including sanitary and high-integrity installations.

Weld-In Thermowells – Intended for permanent installation in high-pressure and high-temperature process systems requiring maximum strength and reliability.
