Description

The Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter is an intrinsically safe, compact, loop-powered moisture transmitter designed specifically to meet the demands of rugged industrial applications. With a technologically advanced aluminum oxide moisture sensor, state-of-the-art software and electronics, and a certified intrinsically safe electronics packaged in an IP67/Type 4X housing, the Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter is ideal for use in pipeline natural gas, petrochemical, power generation, and other industrial gas or non-aqueous liquid applications.

The Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter features an integrated backlit display and six-button keypad to provide viewing of up to three parameters simultaneously and to allow easy navigation of the software for configuration of the display, analog and digital (RS485) outputs, and other user functions and diagnostics. Via the RS485 interface, the built-in multidrop capability of the Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter allows multiple units to be connected on a single network.

Using an industry-proven aluminum oxide moisture sensor, the Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter features a built-in temperature thermistor and pressure transducer to provide real-time measurement for calculation of parameters such as ppmv in gases, ppmw in liquids, pounds per million standard cubic feet in natural gas or percent relative humidity. Three sensors mounted on a single probe mount provide installation flexibility when space is limited. In addition, the Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter's display can be oriented in four different orientations to allow installation of the moisture sensor in the top, bottom or side of a process pipe or sample cell.

The Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter consists of a display/keypad housing and a replacement transducer element (RTE), which contains the aluminum oxide moisture sensor, temperature thermistor, pressure transducer, and associated electronics. The RTE is field replaceable by simply removing a small mounting plate and disconnecting a cable. Also, since the calibration data for the moisture and pressure sensors are stored in a non-volatile EEPROM in the RTE, a user does not need to enter any calibration data manually when changing an RTE.

The rugged and compact Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter is designed specifically for installations where space is at a premium. The Panametrics HygroPro™ moisture transmitter can be installed directly in the process stream or, if necessary, in a sample system. All moisture probe calibrations are NIST traceable.

Applications for the Panametrics HygroPro™ Moisture Transmitter:

  • Petrochemical
  • Natural gas
  • Industrial gas
