Measuring Temperature of an aluminum plate

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP100

I am trying to measure the temperature of an aluminum plate. I want to mount the surface mount package upside down to keep the pins from the plate. Will this mounting style give an accurate reading? The chip I am using is the tmp100.
