Abstract

An apparatus for determining and/or monitoring a process variable, for example, temperature, flow or flow velocity, of a medium in a containment includes a temperature sensor for registering temperature securable to an outer surface of the wall of the containment, at least one connection line for electrical contacting of the temperature sensor, and securement means for a releasable securing of the temperature sensor and a temperature sensor-near section of the connection line to the outer surface of the wall of the containment. According to the present disclosure, at least the section of the connection line is securable to the outer surface of the wall of the containment such that the section extends parallel with the wall of the and is in thermal contact with the wall of the containment.
