ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an elastic seal for use with a sanitary probe. The elastic seal forms a layer between the probing member and the coating member to eliminate the formation of voids between the two. The elastic seal may include an elastic substance, such as silicon or rubber, to enable it to remain in contact with both the probing member and the coating member in the case that a change in temperature causes either or both to expand or contract. The elastic seal may have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is intermediate to a coefficient of thermal expansion of the probing member and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the coating member. The elastic seal prevents voids from forming in the probe assembly into which outside materials may enter.
