prevent a frequency equality condition.
On the following pages, a recommendedmaximum velocity rating can be foundfor several standard well lengths andmaterials. To simplify the information,ratings given are based on operatingtemperatures of 1000° F. for wells madeof Carbon Steel (C-1018) and StainlessSteel (304 and 316). Values for brasswells are based on 350° F. Operationlimits for Monel wells are based on 900°F service. Slightly higher velocity is pos-
2
sible at lower temperatures. Single val-ues appearing in the velocity tables maybe considered safe for water, steam, airor gas. In shorter insertion lengths, con-sideration is given to the velocity pres-sure effect of water flowing at highervelocities. The values in parenthesis,therefore, represent safe values for waterflow while the unbracketted value may beused for steam, air, gas and similar den-sity fluids.
In some cases, well failures are due, notto the effect of pressure, temperature, orcorrosion, but to the vibrational effects towhich they are subjected. Fluid, flowingby the well, forms a turbulent wake (theVon Karman Trail) with a definite frequen-cy based on well dimensions and fluidvelocity. If the natural frequency of thewell equals the wake frequency, the wellstem will vibrate to destruction and breakoff in the piping. It is, therefore, im- por-tant that the well have sufficient design to

STRESS ANALYSISThe maximum pressure that a thermometer wellcan withstand for a given material at a given tem-perature shall be computed from the following:
P = K1S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [4]
whereP = maximum allowable static gage
pressure, psiS = allowable stress for material at
operating temperature as given inthe ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel or Piping Codes, psi
K1 = a stress constant obtained from Table 1.3.
The maximum length that a thermometer wellcan be made for a given service is dependentupon both vibratory and steady state stress. Thenecessity for keeping the frequency ratio at 0.8or less imposes one limitation on maximumlength. The other limitation is one of steady state stress considerations, as given by the following equation:
Lmax =
whereLmax = maximum value of L (as shown
in Fig. 1.1) for a given service, in.V = fluid velocity, fpsv = specific volume of the fluid, cu ft
per lb.S = allowable stress for material at
operating temperature as given in the ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel or Piping Codes, psi
P0 = static operating gage pressure,psi
FM = magnification factor as com-puted from Eq [3]
K2, K3 = stress constants obtained fromTable 1.3
whereƒn = natural frequency of the well at use
temperature, cycles per secL = length of well as given in Fig. 1.1, in.E = modulus of elasticity of well material
at use temperature, psig = specific weight of well material at
use temperature, lb per cu in.Kƒ = a constant obtained from Table I .2
The wake or Strouhal frequency is given by:
ƒw = 2.64 . . . . . . . . . . . . [2]
whereƒw = wake frequency, cycles per sec
V = fluid velocity, fpsB = diameter at tip (Fig. 1.1), in.
The ratio of wake to natural frequency(ƒ /ƒ ) shall not exceed 0.8, and when this
condition is met, the Magnification Factor,relationship of dynamic to static amplitude isgiven by:
For r ≤ 0.8 whereF = magnification factor, dimensionless
r = frequency ratio, (ƒw/ƒn), dimen-

The purpose of this design procedure is toenable the user to determine if a well selected forthermometry considerations is strong enough towithstand specific application conditions of tem-perature, pressure, velocity, and vibration. Wellfailures are caused by forces imposed by staticpressure, steady state flow, and vibration.Separate evaluations of each of the above effectsshould be made in order to determine the limitingcondition. This design procedure does not allowfor effects due to corrosion or erosion.
The natural frequency of a well designed inaccordance with Fig. 1.1 and of the dimensionsgiven in Table 1.1 is given by the following equa-tion:

Cast iron tubes are available both coated and uncoated.Coated tubes have a thin ceramic coating which resists wetting of the tube by molten metals with the advantage of longer life in molten aluminum, zinc and lead.
It is recommended that uncoated tubes be dipped frequently in ladle wash or similar material to prolong life.

SCT (SiliconCarbide)
Maximum operating temperature of 3000° F (1649° C).Suggested as primary tube in molten aluminum.Porous* and affords protection from flame cutting. Asecondary tube to provide thermal and mechanicalshock resistance in assemblies using C30 and C98as a primary.
MCT Metal-Ceramic (LT-1)
Maximum operating temperature of 2800° F (1538° C).This tube is a combination of aluminum oxide and chromium. Stable in oxidizing atmospheres to 2200° F.Thermal and mechanical shock characteristics are better than pure ceramic tubes, but an extremetemperature span requires a slow insertion time toallow tube to preheat. Sulphur dioxide, sulphurtrioxide and concentrated sulphuric acids have littleeffect on MCT tubes. Since copper, zinc, lead, brassand ferrous alloys do not “wet” MCT tubes their lifeis longer in such melts, abrasive resistance even at2200° F. Do not use in acid or carbide slags ormolten aluminum.
Maximum operating temperature 3450° F (1900° C)in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. Inert tohydrogen, carbon, platinum, rhodium and refractorymetals under most conditions. High thermal con-ductivity for fast temperature response. Being moredense than C30, affords longer life in acids, alkalis,molten metals, molten salts and slags. Imperviousto most industrial furnace gases even at hightemperatures. Recommended for R, S and B typethermocouples.
(C98 Ceramic(99.8% alumina)
Maximum operating temperature of 2900° F (1600° C).Impervious to air to 3000° F, to dry hydrogen andcarbon monoxide to 2550° F. Low rate of thermal
expansion (2.8 x 10-6/° F) enhances thermal shockresistance. Resistance to acid slag is good. Basicslag is fair. Recommended for J, K, N, and E typethermocouples.
C30 Ceramic(Mullite)
alumina (C98 Ceramic). Material selectiondepends upon operating conditions andperformance requirements such astemperature, atmosphere, sensitivityto contamination and others.
Thermo Sensors Corporation ceramictubes are high quality, fine grained,* non-porous tubes. They are imperviousto gases at temperatures near theirmelting point. Materials available rangefrom mullite (C30 Ceramic to high purity
