Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- a measurement protection device having an internal cavity, the internal cavity having a first end and a first end aperture that extends from the internal cavity to the first end;
- a temperature measurement device having a measurement end, the temperature measurement device situated within the internal cavity so that the measurement end extends beyond the measurement protection device through the first end aperture;
- a torque mechanism situated within the internal cavity operably attached to the temperature measurement device and the measurement protection device, the torque mechanism seated to the measurement protection device so as to prevent movement of the temperature measurement device within the internal cavity;
- a torque transfer mechanism operably attached to the torque mechanism configured to transfer force to the temperature measure device.
