Dew-Point Transmitters

Cermet II Hygrometer

Complete On-Line Dew Point Solution

Cermet II is the intelligent choice for reliable on-line
measurement of moisture in virtually any gas, across many
applications. Cermet II combines Michell’s Advanced Ceramic
Moisture Sensor and a monitor unit that can be located up
to 1200 m apart (3930 ft). While Cermet II is so simple to
use, it has the fl exibility to be applied to almost any humidity
measurement application. The instrument can display
measurement units in °C or °F dew point, ppmV, lb/mmscf or
g/m3 across the measurement range -100 to +20°C (-148 to
+68°F) dew point at pressures up to 5000 psig. The Cermet II
also can accept a pressure signal from a pressure transmitter
(optional) providing the means of active pressure compensation
for concentration units of measurement.

Cermet II Monitor

The Cermet II Monitor is a fully self-contained display system
in a 1/8 DIN panel mounting case that indicates the measured
humidity parameter and performs pressure compensation (if
required). Cermet II also provides current and digital outputs
and two 10 A alarm relays. It is protected to NEMA 12 and can
be supplied with an optional front panel providing a NEMA 4
rating. Its operating temperature range is -20 to + 50°C (-4 to
+ 122°F).

Cermet II is supplied with a 4-20 mA output, which is fully
confi gurable for range and scale as standard. In addition, a
2-way RS232 digital signal is provided which gives full data
access to the user. Optionally a 0-10 V confi gurable analog
output can be specifi ed, as can an RS485 2-way digital output.

Applications

Cermet II can provide the solution to both energy management
and quality assurance in the supply of pure gases and
compressed air from heat regenerative, adsorption dryers. The
durability of the Advanced Ceramic Moisture Sensor provides
long term service in applications such as pipeline drying using
vacuum and dry gas purging techniques.

Cermet II Sensor

The Cermet II Sensor uses Michell’s Advanced Ceramic Moisture
Sensor technology with on-board intelligence. This smart
sensor has a measurement range of -100 to +20°C dew point
(-148 to +68°F) at pressures up to 45 MPa (450 barg/6500
psi) max and offers a superior measurement accuracy of better
than ±1°C dew point from -60 to +20°C (±1.8°F from -76
to +68°F). From -100 to -60°C dew point the measurement
accuracy is ±2°C dew point (±3.6°F from -148 to -76°F dew
point). The on-board processor in the sensor electronics enables
excellent performance, reliability and interchangeability of
sensors. Cermet II’s sensor is designed to perform in harsh
environments. Constructed in stainless steel, the sensor is also
protected to NEMA 4 and has an operating temperature range of

-40 to +60°C (-40 to +140°F).

Extreme Flexibility

The dew point of any gas will vary with pressure. When
calculating concentration units of measure, Cermet II can
compensate for these variations either by using of a live
pressure transducer input, or by using a pressure factor input
via the instrument front panel.

For control of external devices Cermet II is supplied as with two
10 A, 240 V AC fully user confi gurable alarms as standard. These
can be set over the full operating range of the instrument, with
variable hysteresis for any chosen engineering unit. The alarms
can also be confi gured to fl ag sensor or cable fault conditions.
An additional two alarms can be added if required.
