Emerson introduces online thermowell calculation tool 29 January 2013

An online tool deigned to help plant engineers select the right thermowell early in the design process has been unveiled by Emerson Process Management.

Its thermowell calculator incorporates the ASME PTC 19.3 TW standard and is available free of charge at www.rosemount.com/thermowellcalc.

This is the first such tool and means a more automated approach to thermowell calculation, compared with the traditional method of using spreadsheets.

"The new tool offers preliminary calculations and gives users the option to perform a quick pass or fail," comments Danjin Zulic, temperature marketing engineer at Emerson Process Management.

"Users can save time by performing iterative, preliminary calculations to select the right thermowell earlier in the design process," he adds.

And he explains that the website has a link to an R21 Report request form for official evaluations. "Once the thermowell order is ready to be placed, the R21 report provides detailed documentation of the thermowell calculation," states Zulic.
