Thermowell Baffles Jacketed with PTFE
PTFE Jacketed Thermowell-baffles for inserting Thermocouples below the liquid level of corrosion mixtures are designed to withstand immersion in all acids, except hydrofluoric, at temperatures to 350°F. Their corrosion resistance and strength are also designed to provide long-life and maintenance-free operation of both thermowells and vessels. They are constructed of a PTFE jacketed steel pipe with a special tantalum bulb swaged on the bottom end. Heat conductivity of 0.130 cal./cm2/°C/sec. is provided through the tantalum bulb which combines good chemical resistance with high thermal conductivity.
