2.5.1 Sampling Considerations
There are two basic methods of measuring a sample with the Easidew Transmitter: In-situ measurements are made by placing the transmitter inside the environment to be measured. Extractive measurements are made by installing the sensor into a block within a sample handling system, and owing the sample outside of the environment to be measured through this system.
Extractive measurements are recommended when the conditions in the environment to be measured are not conducive to making reliable measurements with the product.
6 97504 Issue 3.1, May 2019
Easidew Transmitter User’s Manual
Examples of such conditional limitations are:
Excessive ow rate
Presence of particulates matter
Presence of entrained liquids
Excessive sample temperature
The basic considerations for each measurement type are as follows:
In-Situ
1. Dew-Point Sensor Position – will the sensor see an area of the
environment that is representative of what you want to measure?
For example, if the sensor is to be mounted into a glove box, there are three dierent positions in which it could be installed – each giving a dierent measurement:
Position A is on the purge inlet. In this position the sensor will conrm the dew point of the gas entering the glove box, but will not detect any leaks in the glove box itself, or any moisture released from the work piece.
INSTALLATION
Position B is on the gas outlet. In this position the sensor will be exposed to the gas leaving the glove box, and will therefore be detecting any moisture which has entered into the system (e.g. ingress/leaks), or has been released by the work piece.
Position C is in the glovebox itself, in this position the sensor will be only detecting any moisture in its immediate vicinity. Leaks not in close proximity to the measurement point may not be detected as this moisture could be drawn directly to the outlet.

If the transmitter is to be mounted directly into a pipe or duct, then consider that the installation point should not be too close to the bottom of a bend where oil or other condensate may collect.

2. Gas speed – if you are planning on installing the sensor in a duct, consider how fast the sample gas is moving through it.
If the gas speed is very low, or occasionally static, then the moisture content through the length (and width, if it is more than a few cm across) of the duct is unlikely to be uniform.
Extremely high gas speeds can cause damage to the sensor. Direct insertion is not recommended in gas speeds in excess of 10m/s (32.8ft/s).
3. Particulates – Particulates travelling at speed can cause severe and irreversible damage to the sensor. At low velocity they can cling to the sensor, reducing its’ surface area, and therefore response speed.
The sensor is provided with a basic level of particulate protection in the form of a sintered guard; either HDPE (10μm pore size) or Stainless Steel (80μm pore size). If the sample stream contains smaller particulates than this, or generally large amounts of dust; extractive measurement is recommended to accommodate proper in-line ltration.
Installation Location
4. Sample Temperature – Although the Easidew can be operated at sample temperatures up to 70°C, it is advisable to keep the sample temperature as close to ambient, and as stable as possible to keep adsorption & desorption characteristics as consistent as possible (see section X.X Sampling Hints for more information).
Extractive
If the sensor is to be mounted into a sample conditioning system, then the above points are still of relevance, but it is important to consider the extraction point itself – make sure that the chosen extraction point is representative of the process, i.e. that the sample of interest is owing past the extraction point, and it is not being pulled from a dead volume.

2.5.2 Sampling Hints
Measurement of moisture content is a complex subject, but does not need to be dicult. This section aims to explain the common mistakes made in measurement situations, the causes of the problem, and how to avoid them. Mistakes and bad practices can cause the measurement to vary from the expectation; therefore a good sampling technique is crucial for accurate and reliable results.

Figure 12
All materials are permeable to water vapour, as the water molecule is extremely small compared to the structure of solids, even when compared to the crystalline structure of metals. The graph above shows the dew point inside tubing of dierent materials when purged with very dry gas, where the exterior of the tubing is in the ambient environment.
Many materials contain moisture as part of their structure, particularly organic materials (natural or synthetic), salts (or anything which contains them) and anything which has small pores. It is important to ensure that the materials used are suitable for the application.
If the partial water vapour pressure exerted on the outside of a compressed air line is higher than on the inside, the atmospheric water vapour will naturally push through the

porous medium causing water to migrate into the pressurised air line. This eect is called transpiration.
Adsorption and Desorption
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to the surface of a material, creating a lm. The rate of adsorption is increased at higher pressures and lower temperatures.
Desorption is the release of a substance from or through the surface of a material. In constant environmental conditions, an adsorbed substance will remain on a surface almost indenitely. However, as the temperature rises, so does the likelihood of desorption occurring.
In practical terms, as the temperature of the environment uctuates, water molecules are adsorbed and desorbed from the internal surfaces of the sample tubing, causing small uctuations in the measured dew point.
Sample Tubing Length
The sample point should always be as close to the critical measurement point as possible, in order to obtain a truly representative measurement. The length of the sample line to the sensor or instrument should be as short as possible. Interconnection points and valves trap moisture, so using the simplest sampling arrangement possible will reduce the time it takes for the sample system to dry out when purged with dry gas.
Easidew Transmitter User’s Manual
Over a long tubing run, water will inevitably migrate into any line, and the effects of adsorption and desorption will become more apparent. It is clear from the graph shown above that the best materials to resist transpiration are stainless steel and PTFE.
Trapped Moisture
Dead volumes (areas which are not in a direct flow path) in sample lines, hold onto water molecules which are slowly released into the passing gas; this results in increased purge and response times, and wetter than expected readings. Hygroscopic materials in filters, valves (e.g. rubber from pressure regulators) or any other parts of the system can also trap moisture.
Figure 13
Sample Conditioning
Sample conditioning is often necessary to avoid exposure of sensitive measuring components to liquids and other contaminants which may cause damage or affect the accuracy over time, depending on the measurement technology.
Particulate filters are used for removing dirt, rust, scale and any other solids that may be in a sample stream. For protection against liquids, a coalescing filter should be used.
Dead volume
10 97504 Issue 3.1, May 2019
Easidew Transmitter User’s Manual
The membrane filter is a more expensive but highly effective alternative to a coalescing filter. It provides protection from liquid droplets, and can even stop flow to the analyser completely when a large slug of liquid is encountered.
Condensation and Leaks
Maintaining the temperature of the sample system tubing above the dew point of the sample is vital to prevent condensation. Any condensation invalidates the sampling process as it changes the water vapour content of the gas being measured. Condensed liquid can alter the humidity elsewhere by dripping or running to other locations where it may re-evaporate.
The integrity of all connections is also an important consideration, especially when sampling low dew points at an elevated pressure. If a small leak occurs in a high pressure line, gas will leak out but vortices at the leak point and a negative vapour pressure differential will also allow water vapour to contaminate the flow.
Flow Rates
Theoretically flow rate has no direct effect on the measured moisture content, but in practice it can have unanticipated effects on response speed and accuracy. The optimal flow rate varies depending on the measurement technology, and can always be found in the instrument or sensor manual.
INSTALLATION
An inadequate ow rate can:
Accentuate adsorption and desorption eects on the gas passing through the sampling system.
Allow pockets of wet gas to remain undisturbed in a complex sampling system, which will then gradually be released into the sample ow.
Increase the chance of contamination from back diusion: ambient air that is wetter than the sample can ow from the exhaust back into the system. A longer exhaust (sometimes called a pigtail) can also help alleviate this problem.
Slow the response of the sensor to changes in moisture content.
2.5.3 Transmitter Mounting
Once an installation location has been chosen, this point will require a thread to match the transmitter thread. Fixing dimensions are shown in Figure 6. For circular pipework, to ensure the integrity of a gas tight seal, a mounting ange will be required on the pipework in order to provide a at surface to seal against.
