Process monitoring device

A process monitoring device, comprising:

• a measuring tube module comprising at least one measuring tube configured to enable a medium to flow therethrough;
• a receptacle module comprising a receptacle module body, which at least partially delimits a receptacle, wherein the measuring tube module is adapted to be introduced into the receptacle, and wherein the measuring tube module is releasably mechanically connectable to the receptacle module;
• and
• a system comprising a housing, wherein the housing includes a housing wall, which is made of sheet metal and delimits a housing interior,
• wherein the housing wall includes a cover, which includes a cover opening,
• wherein the receptacle module, in particular the receptacle, extends through the cover opening into the housing interior,
• wherein the receptacle extends in a receiving direction,
• wherein the receptacle module is arranged in the cover opening such that the receiving direction includes a vectorial component having a direction opposite to the direction of gravity,
• wherein the receptacle module is arranged in the cover opening such that a dead volume in the at least one measuring tube and/or in a distributor piece attached to the at least one measuring tube, when the measuring tube module is empty, is less than 20%,
• wherein the receptacle module includes a portion, which is outside the housing interior,
• wherein the receptacle module, in the portion, includes a circumferential shoulder, which includes a shoulder surface,
• wherein the cover includes a cover surface,
• wherein the shoulder surface and the cover surface face each other,
• wherein an inclination body is secured between the shoulder surface and the cover surface, and
• wherein the inclination body is wedge-shaped, including an acute angle.
