FT8062 series Smart Moisture Monitorseries
FT8062 serial smart moisture monitor is comprised of one electronic unit、a set of explosion-proof
housing and one rod/coaxial sensing element(or probe), those components can be connected in an integral configuration or a remote configuration. The monitor is mainly used for high dielectric constant content analysis in insulating material, such as water in oil analysis.
》》》》Operation Principle
After the moisture monitor is installed in the field, it sets up a concentric circle capacitor between its probe and oil pipe, refer to following figure, one pole is the probe, the other is the pipe wall. According to the theory, the capacitance is：
C：Capacitance L：active probe length
A：constant coefficient ε：Dielectric constant of crude oil(or insulating material)
D2：diameter of pipe wall D1：diameter of probe
Normally, dielectric constant of water K=80 but most K value in petroleum materials are around 2 to 2.9. As a result, the K value in crude oil will be increased tremendously along with the water molecule goes in, base on this feature, we could monitor the water content in oil through measuring the capacitances.
Capacitance variation along with water content
》》》》Character
Ø Intrinsic safe design: two wire intrinsic safe design both for electronic unit and sensing element
Ø Free maintenance: No period maintain or replacement needed as other paddle、vibration or
mechanical switches, the parts will not occur block、broken or abrasion
Ø Coating rejection: Driven-shield electronic design makes the instrument ignore the coating
affection on the vessel wall or sensing element, no period clean or re-calibration needed.
Ø Reliable Service life: unique technology give the instrument over 15 years service period
Ø Safety Protection: Built-in sensing element input protection avoid the instrument destroyed
under static energy/surge or electronic-chemical condition.
Ø Reasonable Sampling：The design of putting probe insert into pipe directly measure the fluid sample give an accurate/reliable monitor result
Ø Smart: Software data processing upgrade the accuracy to higher level, built-in self-diagnosis and custom liner correction function
Ø Communication: HART Protocol communication
Ø Field calibration button: adjustable calibration button provides easy field calibration
