Check for presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) | Potential ACMs will be handled in accordance with SWS 2.0110.2 Potential Asbestos-Containing Materials | Ensure a safe work environment |
| 5.3102.31b
Determine locations for thermometers | Available plans will be reviewed to assess system design and intent Thermometer locations and conditions will be visually verified; thermometers will be located on the inlet and outlet of all heat transfer devices (e.g., boilers, heat exchangers, and coils) and the supply and return to all distribution loops | Determine minimum thermometer placement |
| 5.3102.31c
Select appropriate thermometer (thermowell vs. strap-on) | Thermometer selection will be provided for accurate measurement with rapid response to temperature change Strap-on thermometers will be an option for copper piping applications Thermowell thermometers will be used in applications where piping diameter is 4" or larger | Ensure selected thermometer provides accurate temperature measurement with rapid response |
| 5.3102.31d
Install thermowell when necessary | Nearest valves on either side of thermowell location will be closed Thermowell will be installed and extend midway into fluid flow System will be refilled and air will be eliminated | Properly install thermowell |
| 5.3102.31e
Install thermometer | Strap-on thermometers will be attached tightly with heat transfer grease applied between sensing element and pipe Thermowell thermometers will be installed with heat transfer grease between sensing element and thermowell Thermometers will be installed facing in such a manner so that minimum effort is required to read it | Properly install thermometers in selected locations |
