RTD With Thermowells
Here’s what an RTD with Thermowell is! A thermowell is basically a protective tube made of metal or ceramic that encases an RTD sensor. It is inserted into a processor fluid stream to shield the sensor from mechanical damage or corrosive materials.So, this happens to such a setup where an RTD sensor is protected by a metal or ceramic tube called a thermowell, inserted into a process or fluid stream to shield the sensor from mechanical damage or corrosive materials. This setup ensures accurate temperature measurements while prolonging the sensor's lifespan. Platinum is usually the most widely used material in such industrial RTDs. However, copper and nickel could also be used in some of these applications.
