There are a zillion others available -- google "thermally conductive compound"
It's made for just this purpose. Be careful to apply it so that it doesn't run and leak everywhere. If your sensor goes in a well or tube, keep it pointing down or else pack/plug it.
Best to you,

It used to be common for a probe to reach the centerline of the pipe however if you're not carefull it's possible to have the probe vortex which is not good. Two inches into the flow stream is enough, most modern RTDs only measure with about the first 1/2 of the probe.
