Abstract
A variable length sensor probe system for connection to a sensor well includes a housing adapted for connection to the proximate end of a sensor well; a sensor probe having a distal end for contacting the distal end of the sensor well and a proximate end extending into the housing; and an indexing device for interconnecting the housing and the proximate end of the sensor probe for setting the penetration of said sensor probe in the sensor well at one of a number of discrete positions and continuously urging the distal end of the sensor probe against the distal end of the sensor well.
