  • Thermocouple with a vortex reducing probe
    Patent number: 9714582
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a bushing and a probe. The probe includes a body, an anti-vortex tip, and a tip end. The body extends from the bushing and includes a body surface. The body surface is a right circular cylinder with a first diameter. The anti-vortex tip extends from the body and includes an anti-vortex tip surface. The anti-vortex tip surface is a conical surface extending from the body surface to a second diameter at a taper angle from fourteen degrees to sixteen degrees. The tip end extends with a spherical shape from the anti-vortex tip.
