Edgetech - Model PPM1 -Trace Moisture Analyzer
The PPM1 Trace Moisture Analyzer is a compact, high-accuracy system engineered for measuring parts-per-million (ppm) moisture in gases. Built around an electrolytic phosphorus pentoxide sensor, the PPM1 applies Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis to directly determine water vapor content in gas streams. With a NEMA 4 (IP66/67) enclosure, the PPM1 is ideal for harsh industrial environments and glove box integration. This NIST trace moisture analyzer is made in the USA and backed by ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.
