Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure discloses a retractable assembly for immersion, flow and mounted measuring systems in analytical process technology for receiving a sensor which is designed to measure at least one measurement variable of a medium in a container, comprising: a substantially hollow-cylindrical housing comprising a housing wall, a service chamber which is formed in the interior in a region of the housing, and a dip tube which is axially movable in the housing between a service position moved out of the medium and a process position moved into the medium, the dip tube being positioned in the service chamber in the service position, the sensor being receivable in the dip tube, wherein at least one optical window is arranged in the housing wall in the region of the service chamber.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A retractable assembly for immersion, flow and mounted measuring systems in analytical process technology for receiving a sensor which is designed to measure at least one measurement variable of a medium in a container, comprising a substantially cylindrical housing with a housing wall, a service chamber which is formed in the interior in a region of the housing, and a dip tube which is movable axially in the housing between a service position moved out of the medium and a process position moved into the medium, the dip tube being positioned in the service chamber in the service position, the sensor being receivable in the dip tube, wherein at least one optical window is arranged in the housing wall in the region of the service chamber. 2. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the window is joined to the housing wall using gluing, flanging, pressing, clamping, welding or screwing. 3. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the window is made of glass. 4. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the window is lens-shaped or comprises a lens. 5. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein two windows arranged opposite one another are mounted in the housing wall. 6. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the service chamber comprises interior lighting. 7. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the service chamber comprises a sensor for fill level detection. 8. The retractable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the window is circular. 9. The retractable assembly of claim 8 , wherein the diameter of the window is 1 to 3 cm.
