  • Probe for Measuring Thermal and Hydraulic Properties
    Publication number: 20080025366
    Abstract: A probe (10) includes a base element (12), formed from an inflexible material and having one or more unitary rigid elongate prong members (18), heating and sensing elements (20) and (22) supported on the base element (12), and elements for electrically energizing at least the heating element (20). The heating element (20) is formed on the or one prong member (18) so that, when energized, the thermal energy output by the heating element (20) can be sensed by the sensing element (22) to determine at least the thermal conductivity of a substance in which the probe (10) is inserted.
