Thermowell Wake Frequency Calculations

Our thermowell wake frequency calculation software provides calculations in accordance with ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016. Wake frequency calculations prove the suitability and required dimensions of a thermowell based on the process conditions and provide maximum safety for plant operation.

The ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 standard applies to thermowells machined from bar-stock including threaded, flanged, and weld-in styles.

Wake frequency calculations take into account piping specification and fluid properties such as the medium, velocity, density, temperature, pressure, and viscosity that may cause a thermowell to vibrate.

Our wake frequency calculation service includes a comprehensive report detailing the oscillating stress, steady-state stress, pressure, and frequency values of the thermowell, indicating a pass or fail status to ensure reliable temperature measurement.
