The present disclosure relates to a process connection for connecting a sensor to a process inlet via a process seal and a fixing element. The process connection includes a sensor housing and a clamping element. The sensor housing has a housing body configured to receive the sensor and a housing collar that extends around the housing body and has a first sealing section, which encircles the housing body, and a contact area. The housing collar is formed integrally with the housing body. The first sealing section is suitable for receiving the process seal to connect the process inlet to the housing collar in a fluid-tight manner. The clamping element has a contact area which is suitable for coming into contact with the contact area of the housing collar to press the housing collar onto the process seal.

Process for reversibly connecting a sensor to an inlet

The present disclosure includes a process automation technology sensor for detecting at least one measured variable of a medium, the sensor including a process connection for attaching the sensor to a container in which the medium is located; at least two webs which run essentially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sensor, where the webs are arranged on the medium side extending from the process connection; and at least one first housing portion that comprises a temperature sensor, where the first housing portion is arranged between the webs.
