Abstract
A mountable attachment for positioning a sensor in an environment, like a combustion chamber of a gas turbine is disclosed. The mountable attachment includes a mounting member having a hollow elongated configuration for incorporating the sensor therewithin. The attachment further includes at least one primary resilient member disposed within the mounting member in a coordinating manner with the sensor for applying an axially outward force on the mounting member to prevent thereto from loosening from a counterpart , and providing a mounting torque for mounting the sensor at a target position within the environment . The attachment may also include additional resilient member, such as a secondary resilient member, which may in combination with the primary resilient members attain a resulting mounting force to prevent the mounting member from loosening from the counterpart.
