PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the features, advantages, and product options.
Introduction to DPT146
Vaisala Dewpoint and Pressure Transmitter DPT146 for Compressed Air
combines online measurement of dewpoint and pressure. The dewpoint
measurement is continuously pressure compensated using the measured
pressure. Temperature output is also available if the transmitter has been
ordered with serial line output.
DPT146 also calculates two other parameters, ppm moisture by volume
and dewpoint in atmospheric pressure. The transmitter’s compact size
makes it well suited for integration into OEM systems.
