Abstract
An improved heater facsimile temperature detector (47) has an increased dynamic responsiveness in measuring temperature changes. The improved HFTD (47) reduces the amount of mass surrounding the thermocouple tip, thus, reducing the time lag caused by the intervening heating or cooling of this material before the temperature change can affect the thermocouple. The thermocouple (69) is welded to a body (59) extending beyond a machined flat (54) on the outer surface of an intermediate portion (49) of the HFTD. The body does not extend beyond the outer surface (51) of the intermediate portion.
