2. Safety
WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appropriate
thermowell has been selected in terms of design and specific measuring conditions.
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the thermowell material
used is chemically resistant/neutral to the medium being measured and that it
withstands the mechanical stresses from the process.
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Further important safety instructions can be found in the individual chapters of these
operating instructions.
2.1 Intended use
Thermowells are used to protect temperature sensors from the process conditions. Furthermore,
thermowells enable the removal of the temperature sensor without having to shut down the
process; and they guard against damage to either the environment or to personnel, which might
be caused by escaping process media. The model TW61 thermowell has been specifically
developed for use in sanitary applications.
The thermowell has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here and may
only be used accordingly.
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions must be observed.
Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical specifications requires
the instrument to be taken out of service immediately and inspected by an authorised WIKA
service engineer.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to the
intended use.
