Moisture-in-Oil sensor

IST AG’s new Moisture-in-Oil Sensor – ideal for the continuous monitoring of water content in industrial oils

Oil is the lifeblood of many industrial plants and machines. It is used for cooling, lubrication, insulation, and power transmission. To operate a gearbox, a transformer or an industrial plant safely and stable over a long period of time, it is often necessary to monitor the condition of the lubricants with the support of sensor technology.

Accurate humidity despite exposure to volatile organic components

Volatile organic components (VOC) cause drift in humidity sensors, requiring a removal and resetting of the sensor. The Heated HYT 223 is IST’s newest member of the HYT product series and allows for an automatic reset without having to remove the sensor. When measuring humidity in environments with exposure to VOC, a drift occurs which over time causes faulty measurement results. The sensor needs to be removed and reset, which is not only time-consuming and requires regular re-calibration of the sensor, but ultimately amounts to maintenance costs
