Abstract
An inline monitoring package for a submersible pumping system includes a housing having a first end for connection to a motor, a pump or a seal section of the pumping system, and a second end for connection to the motor, the pump or the seal section. The housing is disposed between any two of the pump, the motor and the seal section. A shaft transmits rotation from the motor to the pump. The housing comprises a chassis having a through bore and an end plug at each longitudinal end. The through bore has a diameter selected to enable free passage of the shaft and fluid associated with the shaft. The end plugs sealingly engage an interior wall of the housing so as to define a sealed chamber inside the housing and external to the chassis between the end plugs. At least one electronic component is disposed in the sealed chamber.
