SF82 Dew-Point Transmitter for Compressed Air

Simple to install and maintain, the SF82 is a fast response moisture meter measuring dew point and moisture content and is available with a range of process connections and electrical connectors. All SF82 dew-point transmitters are available with a service exchange program which reduces the cost of maintenance. Michell’s Advanced Thick Film Moisture Sensor technology based Hygrometers are calibrated to international standards and are delivered with a traceable calibration certificate.
