DMT152 Dewpoint Transmitter

For Low Dew Point Measurement in OEM

Applications

Features

• Vaisala DRYCAPâ technology with

a polymer sensor
• Measures dew point down to
-80 °C (-112 °F)
• Withstands condensation
• Traceable calibration (certificate
included)
• Applications: dry chambers, dry
gases, semiconductor
manufacturing, research and
testing, and compressed air

The Vaisala DRYCAPâ Dewpoint Transmitter DMT152 is designed for measuring low
dew point in OEM applications, even down to -80 °C . The excellent long-term stability
and reliability of its performance is based on the latest DRYCAPâ polymer sensor
technology.

Low Maintenance Applications Benefits

The DMT152 mechanics have been The DMT152 is an ideal choice for
designed for harsh environments industrial applications where it is • Accurate
requiring protection against dust, dirt, necessary to control very low humidity. • Compact and powerful
and splashed water. The DRYCAPâ Most typical areas of use are air and • Fast response time
technology has a low maintenance need plastics dryers, dry chambers, dry gases,
• Reduced maintenance costs due to
due to its excellent long-term stability and high-voltage circuit breakers.
long calibration interval
and durability against condensation. The DMT152 measures accurately and
reliably also in the challenging
combination of low humidity and hot air,
which is typical in plastics drying.
