Vaisala HUMICAP
Moisture in Oil Probe MMP8 enables fast and reliable measurement of moisture in oil. It uses the proven Vaisala HUMICAPâ sensor, which was developed for demanding dissolved moisture measurements in transformer and lubrication oils, hydraulic fluids, and other liquids.
Reliable Vaisala HUMICAP
â
technology
MMP8 incorporates the latest-generation Vaisala HUMICAPâ 180L2 sensor, which is the result of over 20 years of field experience. It was developed for demanding moisture measurement in transformer and lubrication oils and other liquids.
The sensor's excellent chemical tolerance provides accurate and reliable measurement over a wide measurement range. The HUMICAPâ 180L2 sensor has excellent sensitivity in the dry end of the range, which is typically needed in transformer applications.
Measure the margin to water saturation
MMP8 measures dissolved moisture in oil in terms of the water activity (aw), relative saturation (%RS), and temperature (T). Water activity or
relative saturation indicate directly whether there is a risk of free water formation. This data is relevant in lubrication oil applications where detecting water ingress and preventing free water formation is crucial. The measurement is independent of oil type and age.
MMP8 can also output ppm, the average mass concentration of water in oil. Vaisala has this conversion readily available for specific oils, including mineral transformer oil. This allows continuous measurement of ppm concentration in power transformer condition monitoring.
For other oils, the oil-specific conversion coecients can be calculated if the water solubility of the oil is known and the solubility characteristic remains constant.
Easy installation
When installed with the ball valve kit, the MMP8 is ideal for installation into processes where the probe needs to be installed or removed while the process is running. Probe installation depth is adjustable. Pressure fitting options are ISO 1/2" and NPT 1/2". MMP8 is delivered with a manual pressing handle that allows the probe to be pushed against process pressure.
