Acid Resistant Thermowells
Acid resistant thermowells are needed when measuring the temperature of strong hot acids. Unlike thermowells with tantalum sleeves, the Ultramet CPT process provides a tantalum surface that is grown into the base steel thermowell providing a permanent surface with no gaps between the tantalum and steel base. This is important for faster, more reliable and more accurate temperature measurements
The Ultra-Metal tantalum diffusion surface could be applied to stainless steel flanged, threaded or van stone thermowells making them the most corrosion resistant thermowells available to industry. With our technology we grow a tantalum diffusion surface that simply eliminates corrosion from the strongest acids like sulfuric acid (H2SO4), hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitric acid, acetic acid and other strong corrosive acids and aggressive chemicals.
Acid resistant orifice plates are needed when measuring the flow of strong hot acids via differential pressure. Because the measured flowrate is dependent on a consistent geometry of the orifice plate, it is essential that he dimensions are maintained and not changing due to corrosion from strong acids and chemicals.
