Take into consideration the gas you are measuring, and then choose materials appropriate to the results you need. The effects of diffusion or moisture trapped in materials are more significant when measuring very dry gases than when measuring a sample with a high level of humidity. Michell Instruments...

Easidew I.S. User 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. Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to the surface of a material, creating a film.

For protection against liquids, a coalescing or membrane filter should be used. The membrane provides protection from liquid droplets and can even stop flow to the analyser completely when a large slug of liquid is encountered, saving the sensor from potentially irreparable damage.

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.
