DM70 Hand-Held Dewpoint Meter
for Spot-Checking Applications
The Vaisala DRYCAP® Hand-Held Dewpoint Meter DM70
offers accurate and fast measurement for industrial dew point
applications, such as compressed air, metal treatment and
plastics drying.
response from ambient to dry conditions exceptionally
fast.
The DM70 is tted with the Vaisala DRYCAP
sensor provides reliable, stable and high-performance
dew point measurement. Autocalibration detects on-line
possible measurement inaccuracies and automatically
corrects dry-end drift in the calibration curve.
The DM70 has a versatile and easy-to-use, menu-based
user interface, a clear graphical LCD display, and datalogging capability. It can also be used as a tool for reading
the output of xed Vaisala dew point transmitters, like the
DMT242, DMT142, DMT152 and DMT340.
The DM70 displays one to three parameters at a time,

The Vaisala DRYCAP
measures dew point temperature accurately over a wide
measurement range. The probe may be inserted directly
into pressurized processes, and it responds rapidly from
ambient to process conditions. The sensor withstands
condensation and fully recovers from getting wet.
Three probe models, all with auto-calibration, are
available. The A and B models are both general purpose
probes. The C model is specically developed for SF
The B and C probe models have an additional Sensor
Purge feature that heats and dries the sensor, making the

can be selected. In addition, the DM70 includes conversion
from gas pressure dew point to ambient pressure dew
point. An analog output is also available.
The DM70 meter is suitable for direct process dew point
measurement in a wide temperature and pressure range.
For more demanding applications, the DM70 can be used
with the Vaisala sampling cell adapters, or with the Vaisala
