Abstract:
A pad-equipped thermocouple includes a sheathed thermocouple in which a pair of thermocouple elements and an inorganic insulating powder for holding the thermocouple elements are accommodated in a sheath. An opening of the sheath is sealed by a sealing member. A pad is welded to a pipe and configured to hold the sheathed thermocouple to a surface of the pipe. A temperature measuring junction formed by the pair of thermocouple elements is exposed to a side face of the sheath in a leading end portion. The pad includes an accommodation portion accommodating the leading end portion such that the leading end portion can be inserted into and pulled out from the accommodation portion along the surface of the pipe, and the accommodation portion accommodates the leading end portion in a state where the temperature measuring junction and the surface of the pipe are in contact with each other.

Claim (Index 4):
A pad-equipped thermocouple comprising:\n a sheathed thermocouple in which at least a pair of thermocouple elements and an insulating powder for holding the thermocouple elements are accommodated in a sheath, and an opening in a leading end of the sheath is sealed by a sealing member being welded to the leading end of the sheath; and a pad welded to a temperature measurement target object and configured to hold the sheathed thermocouple at a surface of the temperature measurement target object, wherein a temperature measuring junction formed by the pair of thermocouple elements is provided so as to be exposed at a sheath side face of a leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple, the pad includes an accommodation portion configured to accommodate the leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple such that the leading end portion can be inserted into and pulled out from the accommodation portion along the surface of the temperature measurement target object, the accommodation portion accommodates the leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple in a state where the temperature measuring junction and the surface of the temperature measurement target object are in contact with each other, the leading end portion has an outer peripheral shape which is a deformed shape which is not a circular shape, and the accommodation portion has an inner peripheral shape which is a shape that corresponds to the outer peripheral shape of the leading end portion, thereby preventing the leading end portion from rotating about an axis extending along a longitudinal direction.
