The invention relates to an assembly for use in automation and process measurement technology, comprising an at least two-part compact housing having a sleeve-shaped housing bottom part and housing top part. According to the invention the housing top part and the housing bottom part are each made integrally from a creep-resistant material and have an overlapping region extending in an axial direction, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the housing top part and the housing bottom part is complementary at least in the overlapping region and the housing parts have an oversize relative to one another. The housing top and bottom parts are connected to each other by axial pressing forces with oversize loss in a media-tight manner.
