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 5):
The pad-equipped thermocouple according to  claim 4 , wherein\n the inner peripheral shape of the accommodation portion and the outer peripheral shape of the leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple are each formed in any of a closed curve shape other than a circular shape, a semicircular shape, and a polygonal shape, and the inner peripheral shape of the accommodation portion and the outer peripheral shape of the leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple are made to be the same with each other so as not to cause a gap between an inner peripheral face of the accommodation portion and an outer peripheral face of the leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple and the accommodation portion and the leading end portion are fitted to each other, whereby the accommodation portion prevents the leading end portion of the sheathed thermocouple from rotating about the axis extending along the longitudinal direction.
