Compressed air quality measurement
testo 6721 Dew Point Switch
The application
Stationary monitoring of trace moisture
in cooling dryers, membrane dryers
and pneumatic systems in the range
down to -30 °C
tpd
The benefit
Extension of the life and increase in
reliability of the system, i.e. protection
from damage from corrosion, ice,
“water hammer” and material adhesion
due to high moisture in
compressed air lines
Alarm box with 2 alarm
LEDs (green/red).Connection to digital inputs of PLC
or other alarm (lamps).

Part no. 0554 6722
testo 6740 Series
The application
Reliable stationary monitoring of humidity in compressed air down to the dry
range of -45 °C
stream of a granulate, membrane or
adsorption dryer.
The benefit
Assures end product quality due
to dry air/compressed air. Protection of
the compressed air system and sensitive components from humidity damage
caused by corrosion, ice, “water hammer” and material sticking. This
extends the life of the system, and costly
process interruptions can be avoided.

Two-Pressure adjustment device for testo 6743
The application
In combination with the trace humidity
measuring instrument testo 6743, this
allows an adjustment (offset) to be
performed during operation.
The product
Up to now, the adjustment of pressure
dewpoint transmitters was generally carried out using a dewpoint mirror. This
requires time-consuming and expensive
measures such as deinstallation, aquisi-
The benefit
Ensures the stated measurement
accuracy over an extended period.
tion of a dewpoint mirror, comparative
measurements or even sending the
transmitter off to a 3rd party laboratory.
• Adjustment of the testo 6743
without instrument de-installation
• No reference instrument required
• Minimum time requirement
Testo has developed a low-cost alternative which uses the principle that different
pressure values result in different humi-

dity values. The 2-pressure adjustment
device is simply installed between the
process and the testo 6743. This
makes it possible to carry out
an accurate adjustment on
site – without a reference
measuring instrument.
