The PPM1 Trace Moisture Analyzer is a compact, high-accuracy system engineered for measuring parts-per-million (ppm) moisture in gases. Built around an electrolytic phosphorus pentoxide sensor, the PPM1 applies Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis to directly determine water vapor content in gas streams. With a NEMA 4 (IP66/67) enclosure, the PPM1 is ideal for harsh industrial environments and glove box integration. This NIST trace moisture analyzer is made in the USA and backed by ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
Q: What’s the trace moisture range of the PPM1?
A: It measures from 1250 to 0.1 ppmv or –20 °C to –95 °C dew/frost point.
Q: What gases can it analyze?
A: The PPM1 is compatible with inert and non-reactive gases, including nitrogen, argon, helium, and clean dry air.
Q: Is it a trace moisture transmitter or analyzer?
A: It functions as both: a trace moisture transmitter with analog outputs and a complete analyzer with display and diagnostics.
Q: Does it come with NIST calibration?
A: Yes. Every unit ships with a NIST-traceable certificate, and annual recalibration is available through our accredited lab.
Q: What is the difference between flow-through and diffusion sampling?
A: Flow-through is used for regulated pressure systems; diffusion is ideal for glove box or ambient exposure without active flow.
