Trace Moisture (Frost/Dew Point)

Gasses with moisture traces cause a wide range of industrial issues, including metal corrosion, polymer degradation, and material aging concerns.

This will also lead to clogged pipelines and the contamination of production-related gasses.

Therefore, you need to properly maintain instruments such as your dew point analyzer in order to track the moisture production of your processes.

A dew point analyzer can determine the saturation point of air, which is the precise temperature at which water vapor condenses into liquid moisture on surfaces in a specific application.

Accurate dew point analysis is critical in a variety of applications, including volatile gas processes that require precise moisture control. Excess moisture vapor can often lead to severe equipment damage, interfere with chemical combinations, and shorten the life of process systems and equipment. 

Dew Point Calibration

When it comes to maintaining the accuracy and proper functioning of dew point measurement devices, calibration is essential. Over time, the accuracy of your trace moisture measuring equipment can be influenced by a variety of factors. These factors include aging, improper operation, and exposure to contaminants. Regular dew point meter calibration and servicing will ensure its accuracy, traceability, and optimal performance. 

You are advised to service and calibrate your dew point analyzers on an annual basis. However, the proper calibration interval varies depending on the type of device and its usage. Dew point instruments used in critical applications or harsh environments may require more frequent calibration in the laboratory to maintain accuracy and optimal performance.

As process measurement is expensive, sending your dew point analyzers for frequent recalibration to assess their accuracy is a more cost-effective method. Moreover, different types of sensors have varied characteristics and may drift over time for unknown reasons. Therefore, it is vital to evaluate the performance of your analyzer. Aligning your sensor is one technique to make sure it is gathering real and accurate data.

Your moisture analyzer will be calibrated by us in our calibration lab using a NIST-proven, Two-Pressure-Two Humidity Low Dew Point Generator, Model 3900, manufactured by the world’s leading manufacturer, Thunder Scientific, with proven optically detected chilled mirror technology by RHS Systems, Model 373LX.
