Promet I.S. User Manual INTRODUCTION Performance Features • State-of-the-art ceramic metal-oxide moisture sensor with chemically inert materials coupled with physical resilience provides long-term reliability in the most arduous applications. Robust construction also enables measurement directly at process / pipeline pressure up to 45 MPa (450 barg/5801 psig).
Promet I.S. User Manual INTRODUCTION Theory of Operation The reliable and robust sensor design is fundamental to achieving accurate measurement of moisture in process over a long period of time. Proprietary thick- and thin-film techniques are applied in the Michell ceramic metal-oxide moisture sensor. The inert materials of the sensor have a high resistance to aggressive media while the inherent strength of the sensor and the thermal bonded connections to the active device ensures reliable operation.
