CAUTION
Process load
The thermowell is a󹪜ected by the static, dynamic and chemical load from the process
parameters, e.g. static and dynamic load, 󹪞ow induced vortexes. This has in󹪞uence to the
shape of the thermometer, stem diameter and insertion length.
Ensure that the applicable and relevant directives and standards are respected, e.g. ASME PTC
19.3, DIN43772 Annex 1-2, AD-directive, VDI/VDE 3511-5.
In critical applications, a thermowell stress calculation according ASME PTC 19.3-TW2016 or
Dittrich/Klotter-method is recommended as an engineering service.
3.1.2 Proper mounting
DANGER
Protective tube ruptures
Protective tubes that are not suitable for the process or application in question can rupture and
result in serious damage to property and personal injuries.
• Make sure that the protective tube is suitable for the respective mounting method and
application. If necessary, check the selection and order data of your protective tube.
WARNING
Electrostatic charge
Danger of explosion in hazardous areas if electrostatic charges develop, for example, in strong
air󹪞ows in close proximity to belt conveyors.
• Avoid electrostatic charge at the plastic head type BM0 when de󹪝ning the installation site.
Note
Penetration of water into the plastic head type BM0
Device failure.
• To reach IP54 with a plastic head type BM0, make sure that the mounting angle is in the range
of -14to194° (208°, see image below).
