Measurement of moisture in SF6, alternative eco gases or dry air assets is critical to the long-term health and reliability of the assets in T&D utility networks. A simple ‘GO/NO GO’ device, the EMT Moisture Pro is a smart survey meter for fast, reliable and accurate moisture determination. Packed with smart features, Moisture Pro is the essential device for every engineer’s tool kit, and is proving to be the instrument of choice with asset managers and compliance/operations personnel, specifying the unit for inventory – EMT have recently secured an order of multiple units for a major utility in the US.

Ultrafast analysis results in <2mins – reducing time/costs of gas testing, increasing efficiency/productivity of engineers
Highly accurate moisture measurement – 100°C to +20°C measurement range and +/-2°C accuracy over a range of 0-1.5MPa. Measurements also selectable in ppm(v), % rH, g/m3, mg/m3, g/m3 atm., mg/m3 atm., g/kg or °C Td atm
Other measurement parameters – temperature (-30 to +50°C) and pressure (0-1.5 MPa(g))
Handheld and lightweight – <2.7Kg for the whole kit (<1.5Kg for analyser) manoeuvrable and portable
3.5” colour touch screen – simple intuitive software displays results numerically and graphically
Integrated operation with EMT parts – utilising EMT standard hoses and connections ensures engineers can utilise EMT fittings and analysers using the same equipment for reduced costs
Predictive end dew point – results within seconds using predictive algorithms
Integrated bluetooth communication – bluetooth wireless printer for reports on site
Integrated datalogger – comprehensive datalogger for recording measurement results of key site parameters (site, operator, notes) and also visual images
Integrated 5 megapixel camera – photos of the asset being tested can be tagged and downloaded from the instrument for audit trail and proof of assessment

The Moisture Pro is the ideal complimentary product to the Eco+ 4 in 1 SF6 & Eco Gas Analyser. Both products will be available for demonstration on booth S110 at CIGRE in Paris from Tuesday 30th August, so be sure to come along to the EMT stand for all the latest technologies from our SF6 & Eco Gas product ranges. There are still appointments available for an in-booth product demo so get in touch ahead of the show

Zerowaste Rapide+ product demo highlights the quality of EMT’s remote client technical support capabilities

Post author By Lisa Redmond
Post date November 3, 2021

Collaboration with our recently appointed distributor in Taiwan highlights how during the pandemic, we have been able to consistently deliver continued support to our global distribution network and their customers; delivering technical services packages, via state-of-the-art virtual facilities, direct to end users around the world.

During their customer visit, our colleagues in Taiwan demonstrated the technologically advanced features and benefits of the ZWR+ SF6 Gas Analyser including: the infrared technology advantage; 1 minute analysis capability; portability and pump back features.

The meeting was fully supported by our colleagues back at EMT HQ in the UK, who were able to assist with a combination of technical support packages including a webinar delivered by the EMT Technical Director, on how to ensure SF6 purity and concentration is in-line with OEM guidelines for safe and efficient use of the asset; how to detect and measure SF6 breakdown/decomposition contaminants; and how to ensure safety and wellbeing of operators working with SF6 and its breakdown by products.

Our specialist SF6 field engineers were on hand in the maintenance workshop and test lab to run through some testing protocols including standards, legislation and compliance.

The sales team ran a Q&A from our virtual product demo suite which concluded why the Zerowaste Rapide+ is ideal for maintenance teams undertaking extensive testing programmes; how its enhanced analysis speed allows for increases in operator efficiency and productivity; and how this enhanced efficiency and productivity enables greater volumes of testing to be performed, providing utilities with a comprehensive understanding of the current and potential long-term condition of their assets.

This was then followed up by our Service and Maintenance Team who ran through the importance of analyser maintenance, advising that fast, accurate and reliable analysis allows utilities to better plan maintenance schedules to ensure reduced downtime and unplanned outages.

When travel permits, our distribution partners will be invited to EMT’s new training facility in the UK where they will be introduced to more world class SF6 management solutions

Superior SF6 products, quality engineers, and strong distribution partnerships make EMT the technology partner of choice for the electricity T&D industry.
