The Vaisala Humicap Dewpoint Transmitter Series HMT360 provides a reliable method for measuring moisture in pipelines and storage tanks containing natural gas, to help prevent corrosion in the systems
The probe can be inserted directly into the process through the optional ball valve without draining the oil in the system.
The MM70 measures moisture in terms of the water activity and temperature.
Water activity directly indicates whether there is a risk of free water formation that causes oil deterioriation.
The measurement is independent of oil type, age and temperature.
Water content measurement in parts per million (ppm) is also available for mineral transformer oil.
The proven Vaisala Humicap Sensor with its excellent pressure, temperature and chemical tolerance operates over a wide measurement range.
The MM70 has clear numerical and graphical displays, allowing the user to monitor stabilization and process trends.
Measurement data can also be logged and transferred to a PC with the optional Windows software.
Low power consumption provides long operation in the field.
The MM70 uses the Vaisala hand-held measurement indicator MI70, to which different probes can be attached.
With the new moisture in oil and temperature probe, the MI70 indicator is now available in four different versions: MM70 for moisture in oil and temperature measurements, HM70 for relative humidity and temperature measurements, DM70 for dewpoint measurements and GM70 for carbon dioxide measurements.
This choice of probes makes MI70 suitable for multiparameter applications including greenhouse monitoring, incubators, environmental health inspections, control measurements in building automation, and so on. Request a free brochure from Vaisala ...
