Advanced quartz crystal microbalance analyzer provides fast, high-precision moisture measurements for hazardous areas
The next generation Advanced Quartz Crystal Microbalance analyzer from Michell Instruments is designed to provide reliable, fast and accurate measurement of trace moisture content in a wide variety of process applications where keeping moisture levels as low as possible is of critical importance.
• Fast and reliable measurement from 0.1 to 2000ppmV
• Accuracy of ±0.1ppmv at <1ppmv and 10% of reading from 1 to 2000ppmv
• Maintenance-free for 3 years
• Built-in verification of customer process gas
• IECEx, ATEX, TC-TR Ex certified for Exd flameproof, CSAus certified for explosion proof
• Intuitive, color HMI with touch-screen keypad; no ‘hot work’ permit required
• 14 internal alarms
• 21 predefined carrier gases and 3 user-defined gases
• Proven Michell Instruments quality: 40 years of expertise in moisture measurement built into the design
