Abstract
A measuring device is disclosed that includes a shaft, a display and/or control unit pivotally supported on an upper end of the shaft, and at least one sensor element disposed in the shaft and operatively connected with the display/control unit. The shaft has at least one foldable shaft section. The device can be operated with one hand and allows flow measurements in channels of varying depth.
Claims18
Measuring device comprising:
- a shaft;
- a display/control unit pivotally supported on an upper end of the shaft;
- and
- at least one sensor element disposed in the shaft and operatively connected with the display/control unit,
- wherein the shaft comprises at least one foldable shaft section.
2 more elements
Measuring device comprising:
- a shaft having at least two shaft sections;
- an articulated joint connecting the two shaft sections, wherein a first shaft section can be folded with respect to a second shaft section;
- at least one sensor disposed on the first shaft section for measuring a physical quantity;
- and
- a display/control unit disposed on the second shaft section and operatively connected to the at least one sensor for at least one of controlling the sensor and displaying the physical quantity measured by the sensor,
- wherein the physical quantity is at least one of temperature and flow.
