    Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual OPERATION Measuring Dew Points Below -40°C (-40°F) Due to the significantly lower levels of moisture present at dew points of this level, the response times of the sensor will be significantly increased. The table below offers an approximate guide to the times taken for the instrument to stabilize at a given dew point (from a starting point of 10°Cdp (50°Fdp) ambient):...

  • Page 13: Good Measurement Practice

    Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE Ensuring reliable and accurate moisture measurements requires the correct sampling techniques, and a basic understanding of how water vapor behaves. This section aims to explain the common mistakes and how to avoid them.
  • Page 14 Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE Temperature and Pressure effects As the temperature or pressure of the environment fluctuates, water molecules are adsorbed and desorbed from the internal surfaces of the sample tubing, causing small fluctuations in the measured dew point.
  • Page 15 Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE • Accentuate adsorption and desorption effects on the gas passing through the sampling system. • Allow pockets of wet gas to remain undisturbed in a complex sampling system, which will then gradually be released into the sample flow.
