Dryness Fraction (sometimes called steam Xmin is the lower dryness limit. Alarm 1 indicates the limit has been exceeded. Range is quality or moisture content) 0.85–0.95. Default is 0.95. Page 3 of 30 Armstrong International Armstrong International IOM-245-V2.1 Steam QM-3... -
Page 6: General Description
(NCG measurement is performed first. If it is within range, dryness and superheat measurements will be performed.) Armstrong strongly recommends that the Steam QM-3 unit be installed in one location and not used for checking multiple steam outlets. It is possible to use one unit for multiple locations and it could be installed for portability at customer's preference. -
