A temperature probe for use in a product flow line including a valve seat secured in the flow line, a valve stem and an orifice ring. The orifice ring is attached to the valve stem to define a pair of flow paths for product passing through the product flow line. One flow path is through the ring and the other is between the ring and the valve seat. A temperature sensing probe is carried by the valve stem and positioned in the orifice ring for sensing the temperature of the product in the flow line. A spring is connected to act on the valve stem and is responsive to changes in velocity of the product in the flow line to move the orifice ring toward and away from the valve seat to maintain the velocity of the product flowing past the probe constant.

[ What is claimed is:] [10.] An apparatus for sensing the temperature of a flowable product moving through a product flow line, the apparatus comprising:a temperature sensing probe adapted to be disposed in the flowable product; anda valve member connected for movement adjacent said temperature sensing probe, said valve member responding to changes in flow velocity of the product moving through the product flow line such that said valve member opens in response to higher flow velocities and closes in response to relatively lower flow velocities thereby maintaining a substantially constant product flow velocity past said temperature sensing probe.
