373 Dew Point Chilled
Mirror Hygrometer
Dew Point Chilled Mirror Analyzer for up to 125°C
Reliable 373 Dew Point CHILLED Mirror Hygrometer
For Mission Critical Industries
Our MBW CALIBRATION™ MODEL 373™ Dew Point Chilled Mirror Hygrometer Analyzer has been measuring humidity for almost 20 years. Incremental development based on operational experience and customer feedback means that the 373 continues to exceed the expectations of hundreds of users in some of the most challenging humidity applications and mission critical industries. Despite its high performance and specification, the 373 is easy to use and simple to maintain. The touch panel user interface is simple and intuitive to use and enables even inexperienced users to perform measurements successfully. Even early instruments remain serviceable thanks to the use of industry standard components and careful control of software build records.
A unique feature of the MODEL 373 Dew Point Chilled Mirror Hygrometer Analyzer is its dual mirror PRT configuration. In standards laboratories, this means that the user can use an external resistance bridge to measure the mirror temperature independent of its electronics so that measurement uncertainty can be reduced, and long-term stability maintained in the event of changes to any of its measurement electronics. The latest developments include improved materials of construction to further reduce sorption effects, higher pressure capability based on new measuring head designs, data acquisition software with automated humidity generator control, and multichannel thermometer data integration.

Heated Sample Hoses
When measuring dew point above ambient temperature, condensation will form in sample lines where the tube/hose temperature is below the dew point temperature. Heated sample hoses solve this problem by maintaining the tube temperature at a higher temperature. MBW supply heated sample hoses in a range of lengths and fittings to suit most applications.
The heated hose only provides sample path heating upto the inlet connection of the instrument. To avoid condensation inside the instrument, its internal sample path and measuring head must also be heated.
There are two types of termination. The shorter 16 mm version is for direct connection to heated sample ports or sample manifolds. The 166 mm version is specifically configured to fit through the chamber wall of humidity generators and climatic chambers. The longer length ensures that the sample is extracted from the chamber working volume. Please review the datasheet to view all the available heated hose options.
