  • Page 36: Figure 23 Dead Volume

    Pura Advanced Online Hygrometer User Manual MEASUREMENT GUIDE In practical terms, as the temperature 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 37 Pura Advanced Online Hygrometer User Manual MEASUREMENT GUIDE The integrity of all connections is also an important consideration, especially when sampling low dew points at an elevated pressure. If a small leak occurs in a high pressure line, gas will leak out but vortices at the leak point and a negative vapor pressure differential will also allow water vapor to contaminate the flow.

    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.
