At WIKA USA we are used to dealing with unusually sized temperature solutions. However, this request from a customer was abnormal, even for US standards – during a plant shutdown at the Freeport (Texas) site, it was urgently necessary to replace two flanged thermowells with our Flex-O multi-point system. The size needed was 37 metres! The entire project time – from start to finish – was less than five working days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The assigned project manager jumped right on this request and made sure that around 76 metres of 1.5-inch pipe were ordered from a local supplier. The maximum pipe length available was about 5.5 metres, so each thermowell would need seven butt welds (including the mounting cap) to achieve the overall length.<\/p>\n

The technical challenge in the manufacturing process is to achieve a full penetration weld without dropping weld material (filler) inside the thermowell which would obstruct inserting the Flex-O temperature system. The team did everything right. All welds passed X-ray testing by an independent test laboratory. The Flex-O system could easily be slid into the thermowell.<\/p>\n

The final challenge was transportation. In order for the thermowells to reach Freeport safely, a lorry length of at least 31 metres was required. For a transport of this size, special permits and police escorts are required. A special lorry was booked immediately and the transport permits obtained. Nothing further stood in the way of a proper and timely delivery.<\/p>\n
