Socket Weld from Ashcroft

 Ashcroft socket weld thermowell isolates and protects a temperature instruments sensing element from pressurized, high velocity and corrosive media. These are typically used where exposed threads may collect contaminants such as in food processing or pharmaceutical production. They ensure longer life and accurate measurement while allowing the sensing instrument to be removed without shutting down the process. A wide selection of materials, sizes and dimensions are available.
