By integrating moisture, temperature, and pressure sensors on a single probe, the HygroPro reduces the overall installation cost by minimising the number of sensors, and significantly reducing installation points and cabling needs.
"We have brought the best experiences of the Panametrics and General Eastern product lines together to provide a more comprehensive solution to moisture monitoring in the HygroPro product," said John Kerney, product line manager for GE-Sensing.
"This device gives our customers capabilities that they found previously in our high-end moisture analysers, but in a compact, simple, easy-to-use transmitter package for both gas and liquid applications.

With the intrinsically safe certification, they can use the HygroPro in hazardous areas without the need for cumbersome and expensive explosion-proof enclosures".
The HygroPro Bafeesa and FM (pending) certified intrinsically safe design (FM pending) in an IP67/Type 4X housing, is ideal for measuring the moisture content in pipeline natural gas, petrochemical applications, power generation, such as transformer oil or sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and other industrial gas or non-aqueous liquid applications.
The HygroPro features an integral backlit display and six-button keypad to allow viewing of up to three parameters simultaneously, with easy navigation of the software.
Using the GE-Sensing industry-proven aluminium oxide moisture sensor in conjunction with a built-in temperature thermistor and pressure transducer, the HygroPro provides real-time measurement of dew point and calculated parameters such as ppmv in gases, ppmw in liquids, or pounds per million standard cubic feet in natural gas.
Since the display can be oriented in four possible configurations, viewing of the information is simple, whether the transmitter is mounted in the top, bottom, or beside a process pipe.
The HygroPro combines the technologically advanced aluminium oxide moisture sensor with state-of-the-art software and electronics in a package designed specifically for installations where space is at a premium.
