Witts' new Hydrobaby measures moisture in gases and compressed air
09 April 2010
Moisture in gases and compressed air can cause considerable damage, so it is vitally important to perform regular checks.
This new hand-held analyser has been developed for mobile use. It features a ceramic metal oxide sensor that determines the humidity of the gas from the dew point, which is generally recognised as a superior method, being very quick and giving precise measurements. Significantly lower sensitivity to environmental temperature, very low error of measurement (+/- 2°C) and a large measurement range of -110 to +20 °C are real advantages over alternative sensor systems.Hydrobaby is ideally suited for sensitive applications such as medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology. Other applications are industrial process monitoring, environmental technology, gaseous fuels and other applications for technical gases and air, such as in the metal fabrication industry and food processing industry.
This handy device is made of shock-resistant plastic and pressed aluminium. It weighs approximately 1,600 grams, has an integrated long-life rechargeable battery and a backlit graphic display with multilingual menu. It displays the relevant parameters such as dew point, relative humidity as a percentage and moisture concentration in ppm (parts per million), as well as the ambient temperature, pressure in the measuring chamber and a trend plot of the measured values. For the latter a circulating memory that can store the last 4000 measurements is included. An inbuilt test routine protects against measuring errors and warns if the filter is blocked.
Users can assign measurements to various products or processes by name. The integrated USB port allows data export for further processing and documentation, as well as recharging the battery.
