Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes Our effective income tax, after discrete tax events, was a 42.3% benefit against our loss before provision for taxes and 18.5% of tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1,403 related to updated Internal Revenue Service rules regarding the United States Global intangible low-taxed income or ("GILTI tax"). Under the new rules, Thermon was able to reduce previously incurred GILTI tax under the high tax exception rules. During the six months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded the impact of a prospective income tax rate reduction in the province of Alberta, Canada. The scheduled rate reduction of 4% resulted in a net reduction of deferred tax liabilities of $784 reported as a benefit to tax expense. Excluding the
impact of the change in GILTI tax rules and other discrete items, the Company estimates that the effective tax rate will be 25.4% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. The estimated effective income tax rate represents the weighted average of the estimated tax expense over our global income before tax.
    As of September 30, 2020, we have established a long-term liability for uncertain tax positions in the amount of $756. As of September 30, 2020, the tax years for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 through March 31, 2020 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
