Cermet II User’s Manual
1 INTRODUCTION
The Cermet II hygrometer is an instrument designed for the continuous online
measurement of moisture content in non-corrosive gases, over an operational range
of -100 to +20°C (-148 to +68°F) dew point and equivalent units (see Technical
Specifi cations, Appendix A).
The system comprises a programmable monitor confi gured to accept a unique Michell
data string from the Cermet II transmitter. The zero and span of the monitor are set to
cover the dew-point range -100 to +20°Cdp (-148 to +68°Fdp) at operating pressures
up to 45 MPa (450 barg / 6500 psig).
Two alarm outputs are provided for connection to external systems which are userconfi gurable both in terms of setpoint and operating mode. Current output is standard
and factory set at 4-20 mA (or optionally set at 0-20 mA or 0-10 V).
The monitor has a pressure input channel for any industry standard 2-wire pressure
transmitter. In addition to providing a pressure measurement, the pressure signal can
be used to provide real-time pressure compensation on the primary channel when
displaying ppm values. The customer can also set a fi xed pressure compensation value.
The pressure input only affects the ppmV (parts per million by volume), lbs/MMSCF
(pounds per million standard cubic feet) and g/m3 (grams per cubic meter) units. For
dew point, the displayed value is a pressure dew point.

OPERATION
3.9.1 Manual Pressure Input Calibration
The pressure input channel must be confi gured to the range of the pressure transducer.
This is achieved by setting
SCA_2.
SCA_2 = 0.0062 per 100 psig
OFF_2 = pressure range – ((20,000 x (pressure range\1000))\16)
For example, for a pressure transducer with a range of 0 to 1000 psig:
SCA_2 = 0.0062 x 10 = 0.0620
OFF_2 = 1000 – ((20,000 x (1000\1000))\16) = -250
If you are using a pressure transducer in barg, convert the value to psig using a multiplier
of 14.5. For example, for a pressure transducer with a range of 0 to 100 barg:
CAL to 012 and entering values for offset OFF_2 and scale

SCA_2 = 0.0062 x 14.5 = 0.0899

OPERATION
4 OPERATION - TRANSMITTER
Operation is very simple assuming the following installation techniques are adhered to:
Sampling Hints
Be Sure the Sample is Representative of the Gas Under Test:
The sample point should be as close to the critical measurement point as possible. Also,
never sample from the bottom of a pipe as entrained liquids may be drawn into the
sensing element.
Cermet II User’s Manual
Figure 19
Minimize Dead Space in Sample Lines:
Dead space causes moisture entrapment points, increased system response times and
measurement errors, as a result of the trapped moisture being released into the passing
sample gas and causing an increase in partial vapor pressure.
Figure 20
Remove Any Particulate Matter or Oil from the Gas Sample:
Particulate matter at high velocity can damage the sensing element and similarly, at
low velocity, they may 'blind' the sensing element and reduce its response speed. If
particulate, such as degraded desiccant, pipe scale or rust is present in the sample gas,
use an in-line fi lter, as a minimum level of protection. For more demanding applications
Michell Instruments offers a range of sampling systems (for more information contact
www.michell.com).
Installation Location
Deadspace
Indication of Dead Space
Use High Quality Sample Tube and Fittings:
Michell Instruments recommends that, wherever possible, stainless steel tubing and
fi ttings should be used. This is particularly important at low dew points since other
materials have hygroscopic characteristics and adsorb moisture on the tube walls,
slowing down response and, in extreme circumstances, giving false readings. For
temporary applications, or where stainless steel tubing is not practical, use high quality
thick walled PTFE tubing.
Position Transmitter away from Heat Source:
It is recommended, as good instrumentation practice, that the transmitter is placed
away from any heat source to avoid adsorption/desorption.
