A carrier apparatus for connection with a pipe string for use in transportin g at least one gauge downhole through a borehole. The apparatus includes a tubula r body for connection with the pipe string having a bore for conducting a fluid therethrough and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface has at least one longitudinal recess form ed therein. Further, at least one insert defining an internal chamber for receiving a gauge is mount ed with the body such that at least a portion of the insert is receivable within the recess for engagement therewith. The apparatus also includes an interlocking interface comprised of the engagemen t between the insert and the recess, wherein the interlocking interface is configured such that t he insert inhibits radial expansion of the body adjacent the recess. Finally, at least one passage provides fluid communication between the gauge and one of the bore of the body and the borehole.
