Thermowell Wake Frequency Calculator

This calculator validates the mechanical stability of thermowells against flow-induced vibrations, specifically addressing vortex-induced resonance. It adheres to the guidelines of ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 (formerly PTC 19.3-1974) and is essential for ensuring the integrity and safety of thermowells in industrial processes worldwide.
