PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermocouple assembly which enables proper insertion of a thermocouple probe into a protection tube located within a temperature detection region.SOLUTION: The thermocouple assembly includes a thermocouple probe fixedly contained within a probe insulation sheath. Also included is a protection tube having a first end, a second end, and a hollow portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the protection tube from the first end to the second end, the hollow portion configured to receive the thermocouple probe and the probe insulation sheath therein. Further included is a radiation shield integrally formed with the protection tube proximately to the second end of the protection tube. Yet further included is a nut configured to threadingly engage a threaded portion of the protection tube proximately to the first end of the protection tube, the nut configured to positionally fix the thermocouple probe and the probe insulation sheath upon engagement with the protection tube. |
