  • Precision temperature probe having fast response
    Patent number: 6592253
    Abstract: A temperature probe (10) including a cylindrical thermally conductive housing (10) and a temperature sensor (18) employing a resistive temperature element (22) mounted therein. The temperature sensor (18) is mounted at one end of the housing (12) by a thermally conductive potting material (50). Signal wires (36) electrically couple to the resistive element (22) extend through an elongated insulated member (30) and out of an end of the housing (12) opposite the sensor (18). Changes in the temperature of the housing are quickly transferred to the resistive temperature element (22) through the conductive potting material (50). In one embodiment, the probe (10) is combined with a pressure transducer (60) to provide a pressure and temperature sensing device.
