Title:  Can a SPRT be used inside of a vacuum?

Applies To:  All SPRT’s

Problem Description:  

Can you measure the temperature at the vacuum environment, when the vacuum is nearly absolute 0 kpa?  Could the SPRT withstand this differential pressure (between the vacuum and the inside pressure of the SPRT)?

Resolution/Work Around:  There should be no problem using the SPRT probe in vacuum.
