Could someone help me understand more about Thermowell,
1: why minimum pipe is DN100 for Thermowell?
2: is there any spec saying the length of Thermowell for tank?
3: how to caculate it, stress? frequency? any software there?
Thanks in advance

RE: Question of Thermowell
There's been an updated standard for thermowells, the newly revised ASME PTC 19.3 TW (2010) standard. It addresses frequency/vibration issues.
A thermowell vendor, JMS has a free on-line software application after web registration:

I think that the new calc is LOTS more conservative than previous.

ring up any thermowell supplier in your area, i.e any industrial piping supply they'll sort you out with hardware and software.
if you need google help type in "thermowell software"
