C. Additional Notes for
Liquid Applications
Application of the Hygrometer (900-901D1)
In addition to the topics already discussed, the following general
application notes pertain to the use of GE Panametrics moisture
probes in liquid applications:
1. All M Series Aluminum Oxide Moisture Sensors can be used in
either the gas phase or the liquid phase. However, for the detection
of trace amounts of water in conductive liquids (for which an
empirical calibration is required), the M2 Sensor is recommended.
Since a background signal is caused by the conductivity of the
liquid between the sensor lead wires, use of the M2 Sensor (which
has the shortest lead wires) will result in the best sensitivity.
2. The calibration data supplied with GE Panametrics Moisture
Probes is applicable to both liquid phase (for those liquids in
which a Henry's Law analysis is applicable) and gas phase
applications.
3. As indicated in Table A-3 on page A-19, the flow rate of the liquid
is limited to a maximum of 10 cm/sec.
4. Possible probe malfunctions and their remedies are discussed in
the Troubleshooting chapter of this manual.
