The present disclosure relates to an inline sensor including a housing fixable in a wall of a fluid line or a process container. A first transducer for detecting a primary measurand of a medium contained in the fluid line or the process container is integrated into the housing and designed to generate first measurement signals dependent on the primary measurand. A sensor electronics is connected to the first transducer for detecting the first measurement signals and designed to process the first measurement signals. The inline sensor is additionally designed to detect pressure surges occurring in the process container.
