Hi @kjs.4904, In most cases, neither threaded nor weldneck flanges are used, but blind flanges. An exception are screw-welded flange protection tubes type TW10-S, where threaded flanges are used.
Dear @oliviahirst9138, The weight of a thermowell and the weight of an thermometer, thermocouple or resistance thermometer, are completely independent of each other. You can combine a quite light thermowell with a quite heavy thermometer or vice versa, and both combinations are a good engineering design. Essential for a good engineered thermometer assembly is the perfect dimensional design of all components, not the weight of the thermowell and the thermocouple.
which app did you use for animation ?
Hello @FanntasyTheory,

Do you use threaded or weldneck flange?

Are thermowells lighter than thermocouples?
