Classification: CPC F  G | IPC F  G

Claim 0:
1. A process connection comprising:
an annular gasket; and
a cylindrical measuring probe of a sensor,
wherein:
the gasket is provided to seal a process environment,
the gasket is disposed between the process connection and the cylindrical measuring probe;
the gasket is fixable by means of a threaded downholder, the downholder exerting a compressive force on the gasket;
the gasket contacts a first annular sealing edge at the process connection;
the gasket surrounds the cylindrical measuring probe at a second annular sealing edge;
the gasket has at least one conical outer jacket surface having a conical outer jacket angle and the process connection has a conical inner surface having a conical inner angle;
the gasket has a conical inner jacket surface that faces the cylindrical measuring probe, the conical angle of the gasket and an outer surface of the gasket forming an acute angle with one another,
with the gasket contacting the first annular sealing edge of the conical inner surface of the process connection;
with the conical outer jacket angle being smaller than the conical inner angle; and
the gasket has an acute angle in cross-section at the second annular sealing edge.
