Abstract
A process control instrument adapted to provide an output indicative of a parameter of a process fluid is disclosed. The process control instrument is designed to be attachable to a flange having a first passageway filled with process fluid. A body of the process control instrument has an opening adjacent to the first passageway adapted to receive process fluid from the first passageway. A seal positioned in the opening and attached to the body at a seal outer diameter is adapted to prevent process fluid from leaking from the first passageway and the opening past the flange.
