Refinery Storage Tank Thermowells Immersion Lengths
Refinery Storage Tank Thermowells Immersion Lengths
(OP)
Gents,
I'm looking for an industry standard/guide for immersion lengths of thermowells directly mounted in storage tanks. We have tanks from 12ft to 57ft in diameter. Only info I've found is an old Shell standard for (process ?) 'vessels', stating an immersion length of 18 inches. Thanks.

Senility is a wonderful thing.
I even put my 10cents work in that already discussed topic !!

Point to note though, the publication has a lot of detail on temperature monitoring especially in 'custody transfer service' where acuracy plays a big part with respect to liquid volume and expansion due to heat. Well worth the read !
