Abstract
A flow probe has been described which includes a sensor housing and a coupling member. The sensor housing with one or more sensors mated together with the coupling member form the flow probe. The sensor housing accepts a variety of different sized coupling members to form flow probes of different sizes. The sensor housing is adapted to house one or more transducers. Additionally, a version of the flow probe includes strategically located positioning elements for ease in placement and retrieval of the flow probe.
