Breathing gases play a vital role in numerous applications, ranging from medical life support systems to industrial safety and diving operations. Gas purity and safety are paramount for all breathing gases and mixtures because even the smallest contamination can have serious consequences.
Air Separation Units (ASUs) produce high-purity gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon from air. Accurate dewpoint measurement plays a vital role in ensuring the efficiency, safety, and reliability of these units. This article outlines the significance of dewpoint monitoring in ASUs, common moisture-related challenges, practical solutions, and references to key standards.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) is an insulating and arc-quenching gas in high-voltage electrical equipment, where its exceptional dielectric strength and thermal stability make it indispensable for switchgear, circuit breakers, transformers, and busbars. However, the integrity of SF₆ systems depends on stringent…
The importance of dewpoint measurement in industrial applications lies in its critical role in controlling moisture levels, which directly impacts equipment longevity, product quality, safety and operational efficiency. Dewpoint is the temperature at which air or gas becomes saturated with moisture, causing condensation, which can lead to corrosion, rust, blockages and damage in industrial processes and equipment.
The SADPmini2 is an advanced portable dewpoint hygrometer designed for the precise measurement of trace moisture in industrial gases and dry compressed air. Valued for its portability, reliability and suitability for both onsite and laboratory measurements. It is commonly used…
Welding quality hinges on stringent control of the process environment, where even trace amounts of moisture in shielding gases or on metal surfaces can severely compromise weld integrity. Moisture ingress results in hydrogen evolution during welding, leading to porosity, hydrogen…
