A Practical Guide: Wake Frequency Calculation for Thermowells ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016
15/04/2026by Tempotech
Wake Frequency Calculation for Thermowells per ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 is essential for preventing resonance-induced failures in industrial temperature measurement systems. When fluid flows past a thermowell, it sheds vortices at a characteristic frequency that can cause damaging vibrations if it approaches the thermowell's natural frequency. ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 provides a standardized methodology to...

MgO-packed thermocouples, also called mineral-insulated metal-sheathed (MIMS) thermocouples, are a reliable and durable choice compared to ceramic beaded thermocouples. MgO thermocouples are constructed by placing thermoelements inside a metal sheath insulated with high-purity MgO (magnesium oxide powder). The cable is then redrawn to the required size and heat-treated to normalize the metal conductors and sheath....
