Disposable sterilizable liner for a level, pressure or temperature measurement instrument

Abstract

In order to provide means for allowing a time and cost effective use of measurement instruments () in industrial applications where high standard of hygiene need to be fulfilled, a disposable sterilizable liner () for a level, pressure or temperature measurement instrument () for measuring level, pressure or temperature of a product () in a container (), for use in combination with a disposable container liner () covering an interior of the container (), is described, wherein the measurement instrument () comprises: a sensing element () for sensing a physical quantity, and a process connector () for mounting the sensing element () on a counter connector () on the container (), wherein the liner () for the measurement instrument () is one integral element made out of an elastic material has a shape that exactly follows outer contours of the sensing element () and the process connector (), such that it forms a removable single use hygienic liner for closely covering all surfaces of the measurement instrument () exposed to the product () during measurement operation, and comprises a mounting section (), which in operation is clamped between the process connector () and the counter connector ().
