A thermowell is a protective sleeve or tube used to house a temperature sensor, such as a thermocouple or resistance temperature detector (RTD), allowing it to measure the temperature of a process fluid without being in direct contact with that fluid. Thermowells are commonly made from materials like stainless steel, brass, or other alloys to withstand varying temperatures, pressures, and corrosive environments.
