Abstract
A moisture meter construction in which a conventional meter assembly is mounted within a housing, an access opening into said housing, a tubular member integrally secured to said housing having an opening therethrough with the opening of the tubular member being aligned with the access opening, an annular chamber surrounding the tubular member, a metallic probe assembly tightly fitted within said annular chamber, a tapered plug member surrounding a portion of the metallic probe assembly being snugly located within said annular chamber, the free end of the probe assembly having an electrical insulator placed within the metallic probe member and a dissimilar metal located interiorly of the insulator with the entire probe assembly being tightly sealed.
Claims3
A moisture meter construction wherein a probe assembly is attached to a housing for the moisture meter, the improvement comprising:
- a tubular extension formed upon said housing having an internal access opening providing access to the interior of the housing;
- a first electrically conductive member tightly mounted upon said tubular section, said first electrically conductive member being tubular and having an elongated chamber therein;
- said housing having an annular extension surrounding said tubular section and being spaced therefrom forming an annular internal chamber;
- a plug member surrounding a portion of said first electrically conductive member with a portion of said plug member to tightly interfit within said internal chamber;
- an insulator located within the outer end of said first electrically conductive member;
- and
- a second electrically conductive member being tightly mounted within said insulator.
