1. An apparatus comprising:
a tubular sensor carrier having a first coupling at a first end of the carrier and a second coupling on a second end of the carrier opposite the first end;
a bore extending through the carrier from the first end to the second end, thereby forming a carrier wall between the bore and an exterior surface of the carrier, wherein the bore is offset from a central axis of the carrier, thereby creating an increased-thickness portion of the carrier wall on a first side of the carrier;
one or more cavities formed within the increased-thickness portion of the carrier wall, the one or more cavities each having an open side facing away from the bore; and
one or more sensors positioned within corresponding ones of the one or more cavities;
one or more clamps which secure the one or more sensors within the one or more cavities against the carrier;
one or more side plates which are positioned to cover the entire open sides of the one or more cavities and are secured to the carrier so that the carrier and the one or more side plates form a housing that encloses the one or more sensors in the one or more cavities.
