  • HIGH-TEMPERATURE FLOW SENSOR PROBE
    Publication number: 20220316926
    Abstract: A high-temperature flow sensor includes strain relief wires for connecting cable wires to electrically resistive sensor elements to protect the sensor elements from fractures or other damage due to differences in thermal expansion and contraction of components. The resistive sensor material assembled with a support material is mounted in a tube with an electrically, conductive filler between the sensor material and the tube.
