Estimating the term…
A clamp for connecting a cylindrical temperature sensor axis-parallel with a tube has a bendable metallic tension band which tension band on its one end portion has a first jaw and at its other end section is shapewise connectable with a second jaw, and which clamp also has a tension screw. The tension screw is inserted through a bore in the first jaw and is threaded through a threaded bore in the second jaw. To be able to connect the sensor and tube rigidly with little heat transfer resistance the second jaw has a bent plate with two legs. The first leg is provided with the threaded bore and the second leg with a slot through which the other end section can be passed. The tension band length is so chosen that the other end section after the wrapping of the tension band around the temperature sensor and the tube as well as its being passed through the slot is bendable down onto the second leg. The tension screw length is so chosen that after its tightening it lies on the bent down end section.
A clamp for connecting a cylindrical temperature sensor axis-parallel to a tube with co-engagement of the temperature sensor and the tube, with a bendable tension band of metal which at a first end section has a first jaw, a second jaw shapewise connectable with a second end section, and a tension screw, wherein the tension screw extends through a bore in the first jaw and through a threaded bore in the second jaw, characterized in that the second jaw has a bent plate with a first leg and a second leg standing perpendicularly to the first leg, that the first leg is provided with the threaded bore and the second leg is provided with a slot through which the second end section of the tension band can be passed, that the length of the tension band is so chosen that the second end section after laying of the tension band around the temperature sensor and the tube and its passage through the slot is bendable down onto the second leg, and that the length of the tension screw is so chosen that after its tightening its lies onto the bent down second end section.
