Reduce thermowell-design time to 15 min with this tool
The new Rosemount Thermowell Design Accelerator eliminates the largest “pain point” of temperature process design — manual thermowell iterations — significantly increasing operational efficiencies and cost savings. The free, online thermowell-design tool is easy to use and intuitively guides users through complex projects, saving hours of wasted labor and resources. Users will be able to automatically iterate up to 1,000 thermowell tags with a single click — all optimized for their process conditions. On average, engineers can spend 50 h completing thermowell calculations for a single project. Nearly 20 variables related to process conditions and thermowell dimensions are used to find a safe and efficient solution. Temperature points often need to be recalculated three to four times using traditional trial-and-error methods before passing global standards for safe operation outlined by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Using the Thermowell Design Accelerator, engineers can reduce design ideation time to just 15 min, says the company. The new tool features a dynamically changing image (photo) that intuitively leads users through thermowell designs. — Emerson Automation Solutions, Shakopee, Minn.
