I am making an electronic unit to measure the temperature of a fluid.  The 
unit will fit around a pipe. Problem is fluid, and hence pipe, could reach 
150 degC, but electronics are rated to 85 degC. The electronics, within 
the unit, will be no more than two inches from the source. Can you 
recommend a means of insulating the electronics against the heat source. 
Perhaps potting with a low thermal conductivity material, can you 
recommend any?
