Hello @i-etranger, Each ScrutonWell is individually calculated for each application in terms of static loads due to process pressure and bending. The ScrutonWell design effectively prevents vibration excitation by vortex shedding (VIV - Vortex-Induced Vibration). This has been proven by laboratory tests at NEL (National Engineering Laboratory).
@WIKAGroup thank you for answering. The lab confirmation is interesting but probably less useful in the absence of open and generally accepted way to describe performance ScrutonWell in a range of process conditions. Could you please provide a reference to a standard that allows verification of thermowell's ability to maintain its integrity for given process conditions?
How do you demonstrate in a given application that ScrutonWell will not fail in a catastrophic way? For conventional design one can use ASME...
