Portable Instruments
MDM50
Hygrometer
Affordable, Simple Dew-Point
Measurement
The MDM50 Hygrometer has been designed to make spot
checks of the dew point in air and gases as simple and fast
as possible. This completely self-contained instrument weighs
just 4kg and is delivered ready to use. Simply connect your
sample gas to the Quick Connect (or optional Swagelok
fi ttings, turn on the instrument and it will automatically begin
to measure the dew point of the applied sample.

Intelligent and Interchangeable Sensor
Technology
The MDM50 uses Michell’s advanced polymer moisture
sensing technology. The sensor is coupled with the latest
microprocessor-based measurement circuitry to produce a fully
calibrated and interchangeable sensor transmitter module. All
calibration data is stored in fl ash memory, so on-site sensor
exchange for calibration or service can be performed quickly,
even by untrained personnel.
Fully Integrated Sampling System
The MDM50 is unique among portable hygrometers. Michell
Instruments has built into the standard design, a complete
sampling system that easily allows you to measure the dew
point of any air or gas line, at up to 2 Mpa (20 barg) pressure.
The two interchangeable inlet/outlet fi ttings allow you to
choose between dew point measured at atmospheric, or at
line pressure, by simply swapping the position of the fi ttings.
An integrated fi lter housing uses standard fi lter cartridges and
provides 99.5% protection against particles down to 0.3m.
Optionally, Swagelok

Designed For Use In The Field
A fi eld instrument must be easy to carry and use. As its name
suggests, the MDM50 has been designed to be perfectly
transportable. It is small with an ergonomic carrying handle
and weighs only 4kg. The case of the hygrometer provides
NEMA 6 protection and the outer case is covered by a lifetime
guarantee, so can be returned to the factory for repair or
replacement, free of charge.
Long Battery Life
The MDM50 uses a rechargeable NiMH battery pack and is
delivered complete with a universal battery charger that fi ts
neatly into the instrument lid. It will operate for up to sixteen
hours on a full charge.
Reproducibility and Calibration Integrity
The MDM50 polymer moisture sensors are subject to a 9-point
calibration, where their performance is characterized against
a fundamental reference hygrometer. This process, and
subsequent quality testing, ensures that all sensors behave
optimally before they are used in the fi eld.
Traceable Calibration
Each MDM50 is supplied with a calibration certifi cate traceable
to national standards (NPL & NIST) from Michell Instruments’
accredited laboratory.
Measurement Under Your Control
The hygrometer features an extremely clear and bright 0.5”
red LED display making it easy to determine the dew point of
your process even in dim conditions or direct sunlight. Michell
also provides a 4–20 mA analog output for connection to a
chart recorder, data-logger or computer system, so dew-point
trends can be analyzed over time.
