systems
The EASZ-1 Moisture Sensor provides a compact, real-time solution to continuous water contamination condition monitoring in hydraulic and lubricating systems used throughout manufacturing industry
The EASZ-1 Moisture Sensor provides a compact, real-time solution to continuous water contamination condition monitoring in hydraulic and lubricating systems used throughout manufacturing industry Apart from measuring water contamination in dehydrators, compressor oil lines and engines, the sensor is also being used to measure moisture in vegetable oils, light and heavy fuels and hydrocarbons

ABB adds single input versions to analyser range
ABB has launched single input versions of its AnalyzeIT AX400 pH/Redox and Conductivity analysers, with three alarm set points as standard
It operates with any type of oil regardless of density and can be zero calibrated to a particular oil for low moisture content as well as higher content up to 25%.
Custom curves can be plotted for unknown oils at varying temperatures.
The sensor has a built in temperature sensor so that dependencies on temp, dielectric and water content for example can be internally graphed.
The sensor reads values in steps of 100ppm, starting from 100ppm, and is loop powered.
On-line oil monitoring requires fast response.
Frequently water contamination in oil can go unnoticed.
The response time of the EASZ-1 is 1 second, as opposed to the previously available 15 to 30 minutes, which enables the user to detect free water or moisture build up in the oil circulating system immediately, before serious contamination has occured.
The EASZ-1 comes with a standard analogue output or an RS-485 module and is normally fabricated to fit into 1 inch NPT pipes.
A 2 inch explosionproof version is available with CSA or ATEX certification.
