Endurance Tests Prove Effectiveness of ScrutonWell® Design as Vortex Breaker

Gabriel Gonzales | Temperature
National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) in Glasgow

Flow tests by the National Engineering Laboratory in Glasgow confirm that thermowells with a ScrutonWell ® design suppress vortex-induced vibrations, a benefit especially for oil and gas pipelines with higher flow rates and small nozzle connections. Industrial …
