DPT-21_22 Programmable 2- wire dewpoint transmitter (-100..+20Cdp)
Product description
DPT-21 / DPT-22 – Programmable Gas Humidity Transmitters
DPT-21 and DPT-22 are modern, microprocessor-based transmitters designed for precise gas humidity measurement, expressed as dew point temperature, relative humidity, water vapor content (ppm), or degrees Fahrenheit. The devices convert the signal from a ceramic capacitive sensor into a standard 4–20 mA current signal.
The transmitters are available with two types of process connections:
- DPT-21 with external thread 5/8″-18 UNF
- DPT-22 with thread G1/2″
The transmitters come factory-calibrated and ready to use. However, key parameters – such as physical unit, measurement range, output signal type, and fault indication mode – can be adjusted by the user using the dedicated DPT-IF2013U USB interface.
Key Features:
- Dew point temperature measurement range: –100 to +20 °Cdp
- Configurable measurement span
- Available units: °Cdp, °Fdp, ppm (v), %RH
- Fast humidity response time (T95 ~1 min)
- Robust stainless steel housing (IP65 protection)
- Maximum working pressure: up to 40 MPa
- Loop-powered: 8–36 V DC
- Compatible with SCADA / PLC systems
Applications
With dew point measurement down to –100 °Cdp, the DPT-21 / DPT-22 transmitters are ideal for demanding environments where ultra-dry gas conditions are critical:
- Semiconductor industry – humidity control during microprocessor production
- Pharmaceutical industry – dry storage and transport of pharmaceuticals
- Aerospace – protection of systems against freezing and corrosion
- Energy and gas industry – monitoring gas quality and preventing condensation
- Technical gas production – controlling purity and humidity during cylinder filling
DPT-21 and DPT-22 are an excellent choice for industrial applications where reliable and accurate gas humidity measurement is essential.
