Edgetech Instruments Announces the Model DX a New High Performance Primary Method Direct Insertion Dew/Frost Point Sensor


The Model DX primary method chilled mirror dew/frost point sensor is the newest addition to the Edgetech Instruments line of direct insertion hygrometer sensors. With an integral PRT temperature sensor, wider operating range and improved temperature stability, the new DX can be inserted into the process stream or used to monitor the local environment. With its integrally mounted temperature sensor, a single penetration reduces installation cost and improves relative humidity accuracy, as the temperature and dew/frost point are measured at the same location. The Model DX expands Edgetech Instruments’ sensor choices for easy installation.

Active cooling gives the Model DX sensor enhanced stability and a dynamic range of -40°C to +95°C dew/frost point over a wide range of ambient conditions, while active sensor temperature compensation and isolation eliminate drift. An integrated micro aspirator option gives faster response in static environments and an integral barometric pressure measurement option is available on request. Integrated filter options are available for use in dirty environments.

The Model DX Chilled Mirror Sensor can be used with the Edgetech Instruments DewMaster and DewTrak II dew/frost point hygrometers over a wide dynamic dew/frost point range of -40°C to +95°C, with a temperature depression of 65°C from ambient temperature. It can be located remotely at distances up to 100 feet. Its compact design reduces the space needed for installation.

 

Edgetech Instruments designs and manufacturers accurate and reliable absolute humidity hygrometers, relative humidity transmitters, humidity probes, moisture and dew/frost point analyzers, relative humidity calibrators, dew/frost point generators and oxygen measurement instrumentation. Edgetech Instruments products are manufactured, calibrated, certified and serviced to the highest industry standards in a modern, ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited and ISO 9001:2008 registered facility located in Hudson, Massachusetts. All calibrations and certifications are traceable to NIST.
