  • SD card data logging
  • Optional internal sample handling and bypass loop
  • Suitable for natural gas containing up to 20% hydrogen with no further modification

Overview

The QMA401 is a next-generation Advanced Quartz Crystal Microbalance analyzer designed to provide reliable, fast and accurate measurement of trace moisture content in applications where keeping moisture to a minimum is critical. Consistent accuracy is achieved through a self-calibration system that adjusts the sensor against an internal moisture generator, traceable to NPL and NIST, guaranteeing long-term measurement stability.

Working Principle

A quartz crystal microbalance sensor measures trace moisture by detecting the change in oscillation frequency as moisture adsorbs onto the crystal surface, while an internal, NPL/NIST-traceable moisture generator periodically re-calibrates the sensor in place, removing the drift and downtime associated with external reference calibration.

Benefits

  • Self-calibration against a traceable internal reference removes the cost and downtime of routine external calibration
  • User-replaceable dryer keeps maintenance simple and fast without a service visit
  • Wide 0.1–2000 ppmV range suits both ultra-high-purity and general trace moisture applications
