TW6151A - Wake Freq Calca

This document summarizes thermowell velocity calculations for a specific thermowell tag number. It provides process data like fluid properties and operating conditions. It also lists dimensions and material properties of the thermowell. Calculations are shown for steady state stress, dynamic stress, and in-line resonance stress to evaluate if design criteria are met. The wake frequency exceeds the limit and in-line resonance stress safety factor fails criteria.
