The HygroPort I.S. Portable Hygrometer, which replaces the Cermax I.S. Portable Hygrometer, is a fast-responding, easy to use portable instrument for measurement of dewpoint and moisture content in non-corrosive gases in hazardous areas over the operating dewpoint range of -148F to +68F (-100C to +20C). It is the latest addition to the Kahn Instruments portable hygrometer product family. New and improved features include:
- Fast, repetitive dewpoint measurements: -76°F dewpoint in 15 minutes or less (T95)
- Improved NimH battery for up to 24 hours usage between charges
- A 50 micron stainless steel sintered disk filter in the inlet port
- Data logging capability up to 320,000 points
- Internal and external sensor connections
- Lightweight ~ less than 3.5 pounds Rugged NEMA 4 enclosure
- Intelligent battery charger
Typical dewpoint accuracy of the HygroPort I.S. is ±1.8°F. The instrument can be used in numerous flammable gas moisture measurement applications, including natural gas production and distribution, hydrogen coolant in electric power generators, CNG filling stations, compressed air monitoring in hazardous areas, furnaces and heat treating, biofuel extraction/processing and industrial gas manufacturing.
