Abstract:
A temperature-measuring assembly for indicating temperatures in cold spaces subject to relatively rapid changes in temperature, said assembly comprising an elongate, tubular container having an open end and a closed end, a cap, means on said open end and on said cap for holding said cap on said container for closing off said open end, said cap having a central opening therein, a thermometer having a temperature-sensing stem extending through said opening in sealing relationship and a substantial distance toward the closed end of said container, said thermometer having temperature-indicating means connected to said stem outside said container for indicating temperature, and an antifreeze liquid substantially filling said container around said stem, said temperature-indicating means indicating the temperature of said antifreeze liquid in said container sensed by said temperature-sensing stem; said container, said cap, and said stem completely isolating said antifreeze liquid from the cold spaces.
