Abstract

In order to reduce the measurement time of a device for measuring fluid temperature, in particular of water in the primary circuit of a nuclear power station, the device comprises a resistance probe (50) sensitive to the temperature of a stem (23) which is removably slid into a socket (1) itself secured in the pipe in which flows the fluid (10) whose temperature is to be measured. The stem ends with a surface in the form of a convex segment of a sphere (39) arranged to be urged by a resilient member onto a dish (42) force-fitted in the bottom of the socket.
