Dewpoint Sensor

Moisture Sensor Technology.
SHAW – the original and the best.

When purchasing a SHAW dew point sensor, you are buying into over 60 years of proven technical experience. The aluminium oxide sensing technology, used to measure trace moisture in dry compressed air and process gases, is a great example of why you can always put your trust in Shaw Moisture Meters.

Good quality construction of the aluminium oxide sensor is critical to the performance and reliability of systems in the field. However, the construction varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Shaw Moisture Meters employ tried, tested and trusted methods. Methods which involve layering and treating high quality components in order to control sensor speed, sensitivity and base capacity.

Shaw Moisture Meters manufacture the sensor base layer with a high level of precision. This precision produces a stable, reliable and drift free sensor for trace moisture. Our continuous research and development has enabled the manufacture of uniform and water vapour specific pores, ensuring a rapid and predictable response.

The overall measurement range covered by the dew point sensor is –100 °C to +20 °C (-148 °F to +68 °F) dew point, which corresponds to 0.001 ppm to 0.2 percent by volume. All ranges are colour-coded for easy reference.

  • null
