Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for connecting a coaxially arranged tube of a measuring probe unit of a fill-level measuring device, embodied for ascertaining and monitoring a fill level of a medium located in the process space of a container by means of a microwave, travel time, measuring method and/or a capacitive measuring method, the fill-level measuring device includes: at least a measurement transmitter; and a measuring probe unit, wherein the measuring probe unit is constructed at least of a cable- or rod-shaped measuring probe and a tube arranged coaxially around the measuring probe, wherein connection of the measuring probe unit to the container is embodied by means of a process connection element, and wherein the measuring probe and the tube arranged coaxially around the measuring probe for the measuring probe unit are connected to the process connection element via a releasable connection, the apparatus comprising: said releasable connection of the coaxially arranged tube to the process connection element, said releasable connection is embodied via a shape interlocking, threaded connection in a defined connection region, wherein: said releasable, shape-interlocking, threaded connection to the process connection element is secured by means of a radially directed deformation of the coaxially arranged tube in the defined connection region.
