The first elongate section is a replaceable section including a paper tube having a refractory coating on its outer surface. This replaceable section includes a first connector at one end thereof for detachably receiving the parameter determining element and for mechanically and electrically connecting the parameter determining element thereto. The replaceable section further includes a second connector at its other end with the second connector being electrically connected to the first connector. Also provided is a second elongate section having a third connector at one end for detachably receiving the second connector and for mechanically and electrically connecting the third connector to the second connector. The second elongate section further includes means at its other end for electrically connecting the third connector to an instrument designed to receive an output signal from the parameter determining element.
