  • Patent number: 7559244
    Abstract: An arrangement or provision of a sensor or probe (11) for the measuring of a physical or chemical condition such as pressure, temperature or corrosion in a pipe (1, 2), tank or tubular container being provided with a connection such as a flange connection (3,4) between the pipe, tank or tubular sections. The sensor or probe (11) is provided in conjunction with a gasket such as a ring gasket (8) which is used as a seal between the pipe (1, 2), tank or tubular sections. The probe or sensor element is provided on an inner face of the ring gasket facing the inside of the pipe, tank or tubular sections. Electrical connectors (16) for transforming signals from the probe or sensor element (11) are provided in a bore or bores (14) that stretches from the sensor or probe and through the gasket or ring gasket (8) and to the outside of the gasket.
