Endurance Tests Prove Effectiveness of ScrutonWell® Design as Vortex Breaker
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureFlow tests by the National Engineering Laboratory in Glasgow confirm that thermowells with a ScrutonWell ® design suppress vortex-induced vibrations, a benefit especially for oil and gas pipelines with higher flow rates and small nozzle connections. Industrial …
Helical Design Minimizes Vortex Formation and Mechanical Fatigue in Thermowells
Jessica Woodside | Know-howThe helical design has been used in a variety of applications to dampen flow-induced forces that can damage equipment. WIKA uses the same concept to stabilize thermowells and as an efficient and economical way to prevent thermowell mechanical fatigue and failure. One …
