1. A multi-sensor device for monitoring a fluid substance, said multi-sensor device comprising:
a main body structure having at least one fluid port and a fluid passage for receiving a stream of said fluid substance and flowing it through said fluid passage, and one or more openings for establishing fluid communication with said fluid passage;
a sensing assembly attached to said main body structure, said sensing assembly comprising:
a base element attached to the main body structure, said base element having a respective pass-through hole for each of the one or more openings of the main body structure for fluidically communicating between said one or more openings and said respective pass-through hole;
a sensing foil/film having one or more sensor elements, wherein each portion of said sensing foil/film having at least one of said one or more sensor elements is in fluid communication with at least one of said one or more openings via its respective pass-through bore, to thereby enable each of said one or more sensor elements to measure at least one property or condition of said fluid substance and generate sensor data/signals indicative thereof; and
a cover element attached to the base element with the sensing film/foil sandwiched therebetween; and
an enclosure assembly configured to receive said main body structure and said sensing assembly attached thereto, said main body structure and sensing assembly attached thereto configured as an insertable and removable/exchangeable element operable to electrically connect between said sensing foil/film of the sensing assembly and circuitry of said enclosure assembly.
