Tri-clamp thermowells: 1½ and 2 in clamp, 2½ to 12 in insertion, ½ NPT top

What thermowell fits a 1½ inch tri-clamp port? · Hardware · basis: Xem Studio design: the standard solid cap with a ⅜ in (9.53) well closed by a round tip, a Ø6.6 bore for a ¼ in (6.35) thermometer or probe stem, and a ½ NPT Class 3000 half coupling on top (tap-drill bore)

Exact dimensions. True size, with no printing tolerance added.

Notes

  • The temperature stick: clamp it into a port and slide a ¼ in stem thermometer or probe into the well, so the probe never touches the liquid. Insertion is measured from the clamp face to the tip.
  • Pick the length so the tip sits in the middle of the liquid: in a 6 in × 18 in vessel through the top, 12 in; through a side port, 2½ to 4 in.
  • Every clamp face is the ISO 2852 profile used across this site: 2.85 mm rim, flat face with the gasket groove (K 1.6 deep, R3 1.2 bottom, 23° walls, P2 0.8 edges) on C2, 20° back cone. Flange C3 / groove C2 / tube OD × wall, mm: ½–¾ in 25.0 / 20.4 (derived) / 12.7–19.05 × 1.65; 1–1½ in 50.5 / 43.5 / 25.4–38.1 × 1.65; 2 in 64.0 / 56.5 / 50.8 × 1.65; 2½ in 77.5 / 70.5 / 63.5 × 1.65; 3 in 91.0 / 83.5 / 76.2 × 1.65; 4 in 119.0 / 110.0 / 101.6 × 2.11; 6 in 166.9 (6.570 in) / 156.5 / 152.4 × 2.77; 8 in 217.7 (8.570 in) / 207.0 / 203.2 × 2.77; 10 in 268.5 / 261.0 / 254.0 × 3.40; 12 in 319.3 / 311.8 / 304.8 × 3.40.
