Abstract

A sensing device () senses a physical quantity of a fluid having a high temperature. A tube-like element () surrounds at least a part of a MI-cable () between a sensing end of the MI-cable and a sealing flange element () attached to the MI-cable. A major part of the inner surface of the tube-like element is at a predefined distance from the outer surface of the Mineral Insulated cable forming a gap () between the mineral insulated cable and the tube-like element. The tube-like element and gap increases robustness against thermal expansions and thermal shock due to rapid temperature change of the fluid.
