Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an assembly, in particular for measuring a process variable, which consists of a measuring instrument having a process connection and a housing, which is partially rotationally symmetrical at least in the region of the process connection, and of an adapter having a through-hole, which extends in the axial direction, and a sealing web in the through-hole. The measuring instrument and the adapter are connected to each other in a releasable and sealed manner via two sealing surfaces. According to the invention, at least one of the sealing surfaces then has a coating composed of parylene. The invention furthermore relates to an assembly for the releasable and sealed connection of two medium-carrying parts, in particular pipelines.
