Abstract

La présente invention concerne un tube isolant, muni d'une pluralité de tubes d'éléments isolants combinés entre eux. Le tube d'élément isolant est équipé d'un passage pour insérer un fil de capteur de température. Dans le tube isolant, la position d'agencement programmée de la partie sensible du capteur de température dans chaque pluralité des tubes d'éléments isolants correspond à la position de mesure de la température et les faces jointes des tubes d'éléments d'isolement joints sont amenés en contact de surface les uns avec les autres. Un ensemble de capteur de température comprend le tube isolant, les fils du capteur de température inséré dans les passages d'insertion des tubes d'élément isolants respectifs et un capteur de température couplé à chaque fil et ayant les parties sensibles agencées sur les positions d'agencement planifiées de la partie sensible des tubes d'éléments isolants respectifs. Un ensemble de capteur de température possède un thermomètre inséré dans un tube protecteur.
