  • Temperature sensor system
    Patent number: 10775244
    Abstract: A temperature measurement system for very high temperature vessels is disclosed. The system includes a vessel to contain a heated gas therein. The vessel includes a wall having an inner side proximal to the heated gas, and an opposing outer side distal from the heated gas. The wall includes a threaded recess, with a stud having a first threaded portion threadedly engaged in the recess, and a second threaded portion extending outwardly therefrom. A nut is threadedly engaged on the second threaded portion of the stud. A retention plate is between the nut and the outer side of the wall with a first side coupled to the nut, and a second side coupled to outer side of the wall. A temperature sensor is disposed between the second surface of the retention plate and the outer side of the wall and coupled to the outer side of the wall.
