Dew point transmitter is IS for CNG applications
The new Easidew TX transmitter is a small and reliable intrinsically safe dew point transmitter, recently developed by Michell for CNG applications
It increases the Optidew measurement range to +130C dew point and temperature.
The High Temperature Optidew Sensor can be used to meet the rigorous demands of dew-point measurement in drying processes and other elevated temperature gas applications.
The construction and design of the sensor means it can provide accurate, repeatable and reliable measurements where previously cooled-mirror sensors have been unable to perform.
Together with its high temperature optics, Peek optics mounting ring, viton o-rings and ingress rating to IP66, the high temperature Optidew Sensor can be used in installations where corrosion resistance and the ability to survive caustic wash-down or autoclave cleaning procedures are a real advantage.
The whole sensor is hermetically sealed, so that no contaminant or moisture from the environment under test can damage the electronic components within.
At the same time, access to the optics ports and mirror surface is easy, to allow periodic cleaning as and when required.
The sensor is fitted as standard with a stainless steel mirror, giving the highest level of resistance against corrosion in demanding applications.
The Michell cooled mirror dew point measurement technology is renowned for its accuracy, stability and ease of use in laboratory and calibration applications.
The Optidew cooled mirror range includes the Optidew Transmitter, a state of the art digital dew-point transmitter and Optidew Vision, a precision dew-point meter with display. Request a free brochure from Michell Instruments ...
