  • Publication number: 20230194357
    Abstract: A temperature probe for determining the temperature according to the three-point probe method includes a three-wire line several meters long consisting of a first connecting line, a second connecting line, and a third connecting line connected to sensor element. The connecting lines are made of a first material and serve to transmit energy and the measured temperature values. A conductive element made of a second material is inserted in the second connecting line and in the third connecting line. The resistivity of said second material is higher than the resistivity of the first material. The two inserted conductive elements are designed in such that the second connecting line and the third connecting have the same resistance as the first connecting line. Additionally, the present disclosure refers to a method describing the manufacture of a temperature probe.

  • Patent number: 10913135
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a kit for manufacturing a modular sealing apparatus for an installation assembly, a modular sealing apparatus comprising such kit and an installation assembly comprising such modular sealing apparatus. The kit comprises at least one piston, one bushing, and one sealing element, wherein the piston and the bushing are assembleable and accommodate the measuring insert by a bore provided in the piston and in the bushing, wherein the piston is interactively connected with the bushing such that a pressure transmitted by the piston to the bushing serves to deform the at least one sealing element to seal the bore extending through the piston and the bushing, wherein the kit comprises a failure detection unit with at least one sensing element to detect at least one failure condition of the installation assembly, and an electronics embodied to convert the failure condition into a failure signal.

  • Publication number: 20170160142
    Abstract: A fitting for a measuring insert of a thermometer, comprising: a passage through the fitting in which passage the measuring insert is insertable; a resilient element; and a sealing element operably coupled to the resilient element. The sealing element is forced into a first position by the resilient element in which first position the sealing element seals the passage, wherein the sealing element is forced out of the first position and into a second position when a measuring insert is inserted into the passage and thereby allows the positioning of the measuring insert in the passage of the fitting.
