Description
PCE-MWM 200 Microwave – sensor / continuous Moisture Content in Oil, Diesel, fuel, sand, gravel
The moisture meter is a sensor for measuring moisture of sand consisting of a central probe surrounded by four other probes. The probes and sensor housing are made of stainless steel AISI 321. Ourmicrowave – moisture meter is ideal for installation in tanks with liquid materials such as fuel oil, sludge from cement production, fuels (CWF). Bolt diameter – 12 mm, distance between the central and the surrounding probes – 25 mm. This large distance between the probes ensures high resistance to clogging.
The top of the sensor serves as a coupling with a female thread, which enables the mounting of the sensor on a pipe with a 33 mm diameter. The cable that connects the sensor and the electronic unit is installed in the airtight tube. Such a sensor assembly allows variations of the immersion depth into a container and humidity measurements at various levels.
Stainless steel – use and special dielectric spacers offer high corrosion resistance. Furthermore, this allows moisture measurement in pipes with temperatures up to 145 °C. On request, by using ceramic materials, measurement of temperatures up to +800 °C would also be possible. In this case, the accuracy of humidity measurement remains practically unchanged.
