Abstract
Disclosed is a high temperature insertion type flow element and mounting extension assembly for a gas flow measuring device. Designed to overcome the drawbacks associated with compensating for differential thermal expansion between the element and the duct wall, the element consists of an otherwise conventional insertion type flow element, that incorporates the use of a mounting extension assembly and an expansion fitting. The mounting extension positions the element head in an offset manner from the gas duct, placing the element head in a position away from any insulating materials encasing the duct, allowing for convenient access to the instrumentation and cleaning ports. The expansion fitting stabilizes the element tubes within the duct while absorbing any differential thermal expansion.
