{{Definition|title=Inline measurement |definition= Inline measurement implies that sensors or instruments are situated in a flow-through system, e.g., on board a ship, in which water is pumped from the outside. The advantages of "inline" measurements are:

  • The sensors are well protected and therefore have a longer lifetime
  • The calibration of the sensors is more stable and the calibration procedure is easier
  • Biofouling can easily prevented by applying chemical methods (cleaning).

Inline measurement is closely related to in situ measurement.
