Abstract:
A temperature sensing assembly includes first and second temperature sensors disposed within an elongate mineral insulated conductive sheath. A junction point of the first temperature sensor is electrically connected to the conductive sheath. The second temperature sensor is electrically isolated from the conductive sheath. Measurements obtained from the electrically isolated temperature sensor can be used to test insulation resistance of the assembly or temperature indications from the electrically isolated temperature sensor can be compared to measurements taken from the electrically connected junction point to take a variety of corrective actions during use of the temperature sensing assembly, such as adjusting the installation of the assembly or applying correction factors to measurements obtained from one of the temperature sensors.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of measuring temperature, comprising:\n providing a temperature sensing device comprising:\n an elongate conductive sheath; \n a first pair of dissimilar conductors extending within the elongate conductive sheath and joined to form a first temperature sensing point, the first temperature sensing point electrically connected to the elongate conductive sheath; \n a second pair of dissimilar conductors extending within the elongate conductive sheath and joined to form a second temperature sensing point, the second temperature sensing point electrically isolated from the elongate conductive sheath; and \n an insulative material disposed within the elongate conductive sheath about the first and second pairs of dissimilar conductors; \n installing the temperature sensing assembly to monitor temperature of a process or a structure; receiving a first indication of temperature of the process or the structure from the first junction point; receiving a second indication of temperature of the process of the structure from the second junction point; comparing the first indication of temperature to the second indication of temperature; and performing a corrective action based on the comparison.
