Abstract
A sensing assembly comprises a sensor housing having a sensing end and a coupling end opposite the sensing end. A sensing element and a heating element are disposed within the sensor housing. A tip cover and coupling end cover removably coupled to the ends of the sensor housing. The tip cover and coupling end cover are configured to be uncoupled from the sensor housing to enable removal of at least one of the sensing element, the heating element, or an integrated sensing/heating element from the sensor housing, and replacement with at least one of a new sensing element or a new heating element, the tip cover and coupling end cover configured to be recoupled to the sensor housing after at least one of the new sensing element or the new heating element is disposed in the sensor housing.
