Two more pictures of the thermocouple (from user agoz on 22passi blog) http://www.redmatica.com/media/Thermo1.jpg http://www.redmatica.com/media/Thermo2.jpg Another user on 22passi (Mario Massa) computed that the thermocouple in that position could give a reading as higher as 5 deg C more then the water temperature (given the thermal resistance of brass and of the contact surface water-brass )
