Abstract
A subsea sensor module includes a sensor housing having a first section, a second section and a third section, each section having an outer profile and a module flange having an inner profile. An outer surface of the flange is substantially perpendicular to an outer surface of the housing in the first section. The housing outer profile and flange inner profile are substantially the same along the second section of the housing. A shoulder is formed in the housing outer profile in the third section by a transition of the diameter of the outer profile from a smaller to a larger diameter. The flange has a corresponding shoulder in the flange inner profile; wherein the flange is shrink fit mounted radially outwardly of the sensor housing second section such that the shoulders are in contact.
