MMP8 incorporates the latest-generation Vaisala HUMICAP 180L2 sensor, which is the result of over 20 years of field experience. It was developed for demanding moisture measurement in transformer and lubrication oils and other liquids. The sensor’s excellent chemical tolerance provides accurate and reliable measurement over a wide measurement range. The HUMICAP 180L2 sensor has excellent sensitivity in the dry end of the range, which is typically needed in transformer applications. Vaisala HUMICAP Moisture in Oil Probe MMP8 enables fast and reliable measurement of moisture in oil. It uses the proven Vaisala HUMICAPâ sensor, which was developed for demanding dissolved moisture measurements in transformer and lubrication oils, hydraulic fluids, and other liquids.

MMP8 measures dissolved moisture in oil in terms of the water activity (aw), relative saturation (%RS), and temperature (T). Water activity or Easy installation relative saturation indicate directly whether there is a risk of free water formation. This data is relevant in lubrication oil applications where detecting water ingress and preventing free water formation is crucial. The measurement is independent of oil type and age.

Key Benefits

Robust & Reliable Out Of The Box
Its excellent chemical tolerance provides accurate and reliable measurement over a wide measurement range, with outstanding sensitivity in the dry end — making it ideal for transformer applications.

Easy Installation
The MMP8 can be installed (and removed) even while a process is running — thanks to its ball-valve installation kit. Its probe installation depth is adjustable and pressure fitting options are ISO 1/2″ and NPT 1/2″.

Measure The Margin To Water Saturation
Water activity or relative saturation directly indicate whether there is a risk of free-water formation.

Superb Connectivity
The MMP8’s smart measurement and digital Modbus RTU over RS-485 connection within the probe fully support standalone use. The MMP8 offers a robust display for data visualization, easy access to probe configuration, and more extensive options for connectivity, supply voltage and wiring. Whether using the MMP8 on its own or with an Indigo transmitter, the Vaisala Insight software offers easy field calibration, probe configuration, and device analytics.
