Thermowells that protect temperature measuring instrumentation are cantilevered into process piping. The thermowells are subject to vortex-induced vibrations by the process fluid. The resonant response is limited by damping. Damping measurements of thermowells were made and used to establish criteria for acceptable design under vortex-induced vibration.
