Abstract
An industrial process transmitter includes a housing, sensor circuitry, transmitter circuitry, and a radiation shield. The sensor circuitry is contained in the housing, and is configured to sense a process parameter and generate a sensor output that is indicative of the sensed process parameter. The transmitter circuitry is contained in the housing, and is configured to communicate the sensed process parameter to an external unit. The radiation shield substantially surrounds a portion of the housing containing the sensor circuitry and shields the sensor circuitry from gamma radiation.
