Micro-Moisture Sensor · Water Activity
Overview

Moisture caught before it becomes free water

Measures DISSOLVED moisture in oil via water activity (aw), capturing relative saturation before free water forms. Ideal for early moisture detection in insulating and turbine oils. (Unlike the Moisture Content Sensor, which measures total/free water in %.)

What it measures

What it measures

Water activity

0–1 aw (0.001 resolution)

The oil's relative saturation, the earliest alarm of water contamination.

Moisture content

0–1000 ppm (±10%)

Dissolved water in parts per million, with 1 ppm resolution.

Temperature

0–100 °C (±0.3 °C)

Thermal reference attached to every reading.

How it works

Measurement principle

Probe that captures in real time the changes in the electrical properties of the oil-water mixture, with temperature-probe compensation and algorithms, measuring dissolved water (water activity).
1
Probe immersionThe probe stays in direct contact with the oil-water mixture.
2
Electrical readingChanges in the fluid's electrical properties are captured in real time.
3
CompensationA temperature probe and algorithms convert the signal into dissolved water.
4
OutputValues updated every second over RS485 MODBUS RTU or 4–20 mA.

Common questions

FAQ

How is it different from the Moisture Content Sensor?
This sensor measures dissolved water, via water activity (aw), before free water forms. The Moisture Content Sensor measures total water, free and emulsified, as a percentage.
Can the moisture range be extended?
Yes. The 100–2000 ppm range can be customized to the application.
Which oils is it suited for?
Early moisture detection in insulating and turbine oils, plus hydraulic systems and gearboxes.
