Abstract
A single rod measuring probe has a hollow probe portion which contains an electrolyte solution and an electrical connector plug. The hollow probe portion and electrical connector plug are joined by a refill unit which receives the probe portion and plug in opposite ends thereof. The refill unit includes a lateral opening for filling the probe portion with electrolyte solution and a slidable cover for closing the opening. The slidable cover includes an elastic seal which seals the lateral opening when the cover is over the lateral opening. Preferably, the refill unit is non-circular in cross-section to facilitate venting.
