 Technology Profile

Title:

Moisture Sensor (5-95%RH) Moisture Meter (5-100 ppm Moisture)

Value Proposition:

The technology relates to development of:

i) Humidity meter with sensor head

ii) Trace moisture analyser with sensor head

Summary Application:

Sol-gel derived microporous alumina thin film capacitive sensor with fast response and recovery is prepared indigenously. Some of the features are:

  • Measuring Range of the sensor is from 1-95% RH
  • Accuracy is ±1%
  • The temperature limits of usage are 10°C-50°C.
  • The response time is 8s.
Advantages:

These sensors and meters are in high demands in agriculture, food processing, tea and coffee industry, medicine, health-care and weather forecast industries and for detection of trace moisture in transformer oil, nuclear fuel, glove box, fuel oil of ships etc.
