Dew Point Monitoring – Dew Point Sensors and Transmitters

Dew point is more than a humidity value. In critical industrial processes, it is an early warning parameter for moisture related risks such as condensation, corrosion, icing, product degradation, unstable drying and unplanned downtime. Unlike relative humidity, dew point directly indicates the absolute moisture content of gases. It is therefore the reliable control parameter wherever dry air, dry gas or ultra low moisture conditions are required.

In applications such as battery production, compressed air drying, plastic granulate drying, additive manufacturing and process gas monitoring, even minor moisture deviations can affect quality, safety, energy consumption and compliance. Dew point measurement should therefore be considered a core element of process control and risk management, not a commodity measurement.
