An expendable insertion unit of an immersion thermocouple has thermocouple wires 13 inside a U- shaped quartz tube 21 which emerge from the limbs of the U for connection to wires of similar thermoelectric properties. In order to facilitate these connections, elastomeric bushes 31 are used which have bores with larger diameter portions and reduced diameter portions. The larger diameter portions are pushed onto the ends of the quartz tube, and within the reduced diameter portions the thermocouple wires and the wires to which they are to be connected are pressed into contact with one another by the resilience of the material of the bushes. <IMAGE> |
