Abstract
A gauging instrument intended to be sealingly mounted on a nozzle of a tank, and comprising an attachment collar intended to mate with said nozzle so as to face the product in the tank, a dielectric filling member with a radially extending collar portion which abuts an outer rim of said attachment collar, and an annular spring element arranged between the outer rim the radially extending collar portion. One or several fastening elements are configured to secure the attachment collar to, and in mating relationship with, the nozzle, such that the radially extending collar portion is sandwiched between the outer rim of the attachment collar and the nozzle, and the annular spring element exerts a contact pressure on the collar portion against the nozzle to thereby ensure a process seal.
