Applications

AerospacePortable dewpoint meters are crucial in the production of aeronautical parts requiring vacuum furnace heat treatment with very dry argon, and for verifying the dryness of welding shield gas at the torch head according to NADCAP standards.
Breathing AirIn diving, firefighting, and defence applications, portable dewpoint meters are used to test high-pressure cylinder breathing apparatus to prevent equipment freeze caused by excess moisture, which could have fatal consequences.
Food and BeverageIncorrect levels of moisture in foodstuffs can lead to loss of food quality. The shelf life of foods packaged in plastic can be extended by replacing ambient air with very dry gases such as Nitrogen and carbon dioxide between the foil layer and the food. The continuous measurement of trace moisture can significantly reduce waste and carbon footprint.
HDPE ProductionUtilised for spot-checking moisture in flammable gases like ethylene feedstock, portable dewpoint meters ensure safety and efficiency in the production of polyethylene to avoid decreased yields caused by excessive moisture.
Injection MouldingPortable dewpoint meters are used to verify the dryness of air circulating through plastic pellets, improving surface finish, colour, and opacity of products — increasing yields and reducing production costs.
Medical GasesEssential for ensuring the reliability and accuracy of moisture content in hospital air systems, portable dewpoint meters help conduct continuous monitoring and quarterly spot checks to prevent microbial growth and potential infection — meeting NHS HTM02 standards.
Natural Gas and LNGPortable dewpoint meters are vital for preventing freezing issues in pipelines and valves, and preserving gas calorific value by accurately measuring moisture during transit from extraction to storage.
PharmaceuticalsPortable dewpoint meters are crucial for spot checks on inert blanketing gases in medication and medical device production, preventing microbial growth and ensuring the dryness necessary for freeze-drying processes.
Power GenerationFor routine spot checks on hydrogen used in alternator cooling, portable dewpoint meters help maintain efficiency and safety by ensuring moisture is below critical levels to avoid condensation.
Speciality GasesPortable dewpoint meters facilitate accurate moisture measurements in calibration gases, minimising the valuable product expended during the test process and ensuring compliance with specifications.
