MEASURING PROBE FOR DETERMINING OR MONITORING A PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL PROCESS VARIABLE OF A MEDIUM

A measuring probe for determining or monitoring a physical or chemical process variable of a medium in a container includes: a tubular housing component for receiving at least one measuring element sensitive to the process variable; a process adapter in an end region of the housing component as to be screwed into a process connection of the container by a screw thread; a housing adapter for fastening measurement electronics housing in the opposite end region of the housing component; between the process adapter and the housing adapter, an exterior wall of the housing component defining an exterior contour configured such that a torque can be applied to the housing component via the exterior contour to screw the process adapter into or out of the process connection; and parallel cooling fins formed in the exterior contour.
