A portable Shaw Moisture Meters hygrometer for rapid moisture

checks or continuous use on flowing gas or air

SADP FEATURES

Measures moisture in air of gas samples with positive pressure

Accurately calibrated and ready for use

A guaranteed accuracy better than 1 ppm moisture in dry air

Intrinsically safe as standard

Reads dewpoint temperature in C and F and ppm moisture

Fast, one second for 99% response, dry to wet

Sensor kept dry by desiccant in chamber

Automatic dry down and calibration

Complete with high quality padded carrying case and integral handle

Easily portable, ready for spot checks or continuous use, this battery powered hygrometer indicates both
dew point temperatures and water vapor to less than one part per million, on the large meter dial. As the
reading is specific to water vapor, calibration is accurate for different gases. Accuracy is guaranteed to
better than one part in a million of moisture in very dry air or gas.

The self extending head allows up to 20 liters a minute flow for clearing the air supply pipe work without
wetting the test chamber.
The heart of the meter is a Shaw molecular sieve moisture sensor with a gold internal filter and gold
plated exterior. A one second response time from dry to wet (99%). Flow rate has no effect on the
accurate measurement.
Meter accuracy traceable to NPL. Every meter is CE marked and is certified intrinsically safe to :
BASEEFA 2001 Certificate No: baseefa03ATEX0065X. Factory Mutual approved safe for use on any gas
but acetylene, anywhere but a coal mine. Meets NEMA 7, Class 1, Div. 1, groups B, C & D requirements.
