A modular sensor assembly for performing measurement or calibration is disclosed, comprising a sensing module [100] comprising a threaded spigot [104], a first slip ring conductive track [110], and a second slip ring conductive track [111]; a base module [202] comprising a threaded receptacle [122], a first conductor [310], and a second conductor [311]; wherein the sensing module [100] is detachably mounted to the base module [202] by threading the threaded spigot [104] into the threaded receptacle [122] thereby forming a first electrical connection between the first slip ring conductive track [110] and the first conductor [310], and a second electrical connection between the second slip ring conductive track [111] and the second conductor [311].
