Key Benefits

Vaisala DRYCAP Technology

Vaisala DRYCAP Dew Point Transmitter DMT143 is a miniature dew point measurement instrument. The transmitter can be installed directly into pressurized systems at 50 bar (725 psia) maximum pressure. The longterm high performance is achieved with Vaisala DRYCAP  technology. The sensor fully withstands getting wet, and therefore, the transmitter performs exceptionally well in applications that occasionally experience process water spikes, such as pipeline condensation during a system failure or start-up. The sensor is also highly resistant to particulate contamination, oil vapor, and most chemicals, and is insensitive to the flow rate.

Long Calibration Interval

The calibration interval of DMT143 is 2 years. Additionally, Vaisala DRYCAP Handheld Dew Point Meter DM70 can be used to confirm the performance of DMT143 without disconnecting the transmitter. For any adjustment needs, the transmitter can be sent to Vaisala Service. The unique autocalibration function, developed by Vaisala, detects possible measurement inaccuracies and automatically corrects dry-end drift in the calibration curve. This ensures accurate measurements and long calibration intervals.

Easy Installation

DMT143 has a variety of features to choose from, including different output and installation options, and alarm LED. Due to its small size and lightweight, DMT143 is quickly and easily installed in tight spaces or in small-size pipelines. The alarm LED indicates too high dew point in the process. The trigger point is preset at the factory. It can be later adjusted with Vaisala DRYCAP Handheld Dew Point Meter DM70, or the convenient Vaisala Insight PC software for Windows. Insight PC software can also be used for other configuration options.
