Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual INSTALLATION NOTE: Connect the machined ferrule end before connecting the tube adaptor end 4. Insert the tube adaptor until it rests firmly on ® the shoulder of the Swagelok tube fitting body. Finger-tighten the nut.
Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual OPERATION OPERATION Maximum operating pressure is 300 barg (4350 psig). It is important that both the gas fittings and the Swagelok ® tube fittings are correctly tightened before use. Failure to do so will affect the instrument's pressure rating.
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):...

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.

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.

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.
Service (UKAS) or US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards laboratory. If these facilities do not exist it is recommended that the sensor is returned to the manufacturer, Michell Instruments, or an approved agent. A calibration certificate bearing a seven-point calibration is issued with each sensor.

Easidew Portable HP User’s Manual MAINTENANCE If the front panel prevents the connector from fitting onto the sensor, follow the instructions below: • Completely unscrew the cable gland on the GDSN connector to release the cable tension. • Remove the locking screw from the back of the connector (retaining the metal O-ring).
At 4 mA the display should show -100.0°Cdp ±0.5°C (-148°Fdp ±0.9°F) At 20 mA the display should show +20.0°Cdp ±0.5°C ( +68°Fdp ±0.9°F) If the displayed values are outside of this range, please contact Michell Instruments' Service Department. List of Spares...

Has the equipment been cleaned and decontaminated? NOT NECESSARY Michell Instruments will not accept instruments that have been exposed to toxins, radio-activity or bio-hazardous materials. For most applications involving solvents, acidic, basic, flammable or toxic gases a simple purge with dry gas (dew point <-30°C) over 24 hours should be sufficient to decontaminate the unit prior to return.
