A thermocouple assembly comprising a unitary, axially elongated ceramic insulator (12) formed with a pair of axially-extending passageways (13) for receiving a pair of thermoelements (11), and an axially elongated unitary ceramic sheath (14) provided with a chamber (15) having a closed end for receiving the elongated, ceramic-insulator (12). This thermocouple assembly (10) may be housed cartridge-style in an existing thermowell, or inserted into a stainless steel tube (20) which is then threaded into the wall of a chamber to be monitored, or provided with a spark plug-type externally threaded shell (23) for mounting in an exhaust manifold or the like. In this manner, a durable and readily replaceable thermocouple assembly (10) is provided. |
