NOTES

These calculations are performed according to the paper "Power Test Code Thermometer Wells" by J. W. Murdock, and also meet the requirements of ASME PTC 19.3-1998. Note that ASME PTC 19.3-1998 is NOT current and has been replaced with ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2010 released in April, 2010. The results of running this program should only be used as a guide for thermowell design. Thermo-Kinetics assumes no responsibility for failure of a well based on the results of these calculations, and accepts no liability direct or consequential, arising from error or misinformation supplied herein, or due to program misuse.
