The Vaisala Moisture and Temperature Transmitter Series for Oil MMT162
Applications
The MMT162 incorporates the latest generation of the Vaisala HUMICAP® Sensor. The sensor is developed for demanding moisture measurement in liquid hydrocarbons and has been successfully used in oil applications for over a decade. The sensor’s excellent chemical tolerance provides accurate and reliable measurement over the measurement range.
The MMT162 measures moisture in oil in terms of the water activity (aw) and temperature (T). Water activity directly indicates whether there is a risk of free water formation. The measurement is independent of oil type, age and temperature. The ppm calculation for mineral oil based transformer oil is optional in the MMT162.
The MMT162 has two analog outputs that can be scaled and the measurement ranges changed. Additionally, the transmitter has an RS-485 serial output. The signals and the unit power travel in the same cable. An optional LED-cable enables a visual alarm.
Due to its compact size, the MMT162 is quickly and easily installed in tight spaces. Units are delivered fully assembled, however, you can reconfigure them to suit your needs.
In combination with an MM70 indicator, the MMT162 provides an ideal tool for on site calibration. The MI70 indicator can be used as a display, communication, and datalogging device for the MMT162.
