TEMPERATURE PROBE

A temperature probe and method for determining a temperature in a gas flow are disclosed. The probe includes a probe body. A free flow temperature sensor a free flow temperature of the gas flow and a total temperature sensor measures a total temperature of the gas flow. The method includes measuring a flow temperature in a free gas flow, providing a static gas volume in which essentially all kinetic energy of the flowing gas is recovered and converted into thermal energy, and measuring a total temperature in the static gas volume. An accurate determination of the total temperature of a gas flow, which is representative of a specific total enthalpy, can thereby be achieved while detecting fast and transient temperature changes.
