Thanks to all. I ended up translation this as a test that was made in a steel case and left a note for the customer. I didn't get any specific feed-back, but overall he was very happy with the translation.

steel case test
a measuring part of thermometer in a case made of steel


Explanation:
Well, I found this in Oxford:

test (noun):
[Metallurgy] a movable hearth in a reverberating furnace...

And using google, "steel case test" has something to do with measuring the temperature:

So my best bet: "steel case test" is one part of thermometer where the temperature is measured, and this part is like a case made of steel.
