Moisture Content Sensor · Free Water
Overview

Free and emulsified water, measured in percent

Measures the oil's total water content, including free and emulsified water, with direct reading in %. Suited to quantify water contamination already present in volume. (Unlike the Micro-Moisture Sensor, which measures dissolved water via water activity.)

What it measures

What it measures

Total water content

0–5% / 0–10% / 0–20%

Free and emulsified water, read directly as a percentage.

Temperature

0–100 °C (±0.3 °C)

Hardware-compensated so it never distorts the reading.

Accuracy

±0.3% typical (±0.5% max)

0.1% resolution to track contamination by volume.

How it works

Measurement principle

Measures total water content, including free and emulsified water, with temperature and flow compensation.
1
Contact with the flowThe sensor continuously monitors the oil in operation.
2
Total content measurementProprietary technology detects the free and emulsified water present.
3
Hardware compensationTemperature and flow are compensated in parallel, right in the circuit.
4
Early warningRS485 MODBUS RTU or 4–20 mA output warns about failures in time.

Common questions

FAQ

How is it different from the Micro-Moisture Sensor?
This sensor quantifies total water, free and emulsified, as a percentage. The Micro-Moisture Sensor measures dissolved water (aw and ppm), before free water forms.
Which measuring ranges exist?
0–5%, 0–10% and 0–20% water content, with 0.1% resolution.
Which outputs does it offer?
RS485 MODBUS RTU as standard and optional 4–20 mA, with IP65 protection.
Which oils is it suited for?
Lubricating, hydraulic, gearbox, insulating and turbine oils, synthetic greases and light and heavy oils in general.
