Abstract
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.
Claims19
A sensor of process automation technology for detecting at least one measured variable of a medium, the sensor comprising:
- a temperature sensor;
- and
- a housing including:
- a process connection adapted for attaching the sensor to a container in which the medium travels or is contained;
- at least two webs extending from the process connection and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sensor;
- and
- a first housing portion disposed between the webs, wherein the temperature sensor is disposed within the first housing portion.
A method for manufacturing a sensor, the method comprising:
- providing a sensor configured to detect at least one measured variable of a medium, the sensor comprising:
- a temperature sensor;
- and
- a housing including:
- a process connection adapted for attaching the sensor to a container in which the medium travels or is contained;
- at least two webs extending from the process connection and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sensor;
- and
- a first housing portion disposed between the webs, wherein the temperature sensor is disposed within the first housing portion;
- and
- overmolding the temperature sensor using an injection molding process, wherein the housing of the sensor is produced from one piece.
