Temp-Pro, a leader in the temperature sensor industry, is proud to announce their newest product, Helical thermowells. This product aims to fill the gap in the market for high-velocity services.
“Temp-Pro is excited to offer Helical thermowells,” said Neal Messier, Temp-Pro Sales Engineer and Commercial Sales Manager. “This technological innovation is designed to suppress vortex-induced excitation and offer fast response to temperature variations.”

The Temp-Pro team is ecstatic about the opportunity to finally solve the known and ongoing issues with standard thermowells. Namely, those problems are the considerable and measurable temperature management problems involving high-velocity processes. While quick fixes such as changing the tip and root diameters have been used, it still resulted in sizable and inaccurate results.
The Temp-Pro Helical thermowell design eliminates wake frequency calculations. Instead, steady-state stress and pressure calculations can be used. The small tip diameters and roots make for a fast response to temperature variations. Additionally, the accuracy and response time of temperature measurements are significantly improved when compared to the typical thermowell.
With Helical thermowells technology, not only can companies ensure more accurate gauges, but they can also eliminate the concern of failure during the manufacturing process in high-velocity environments. The results and benefits of the Helical thermowells not only meet ASME PTC-19.3 requirements but also reduce the amplitude of oscillation by more than 90 percent compared to other standard round bar designs.
