Technical note

This technical note provides information for installing and operating Vaisala sampling cells DMT242SC, DMT242SC2, DSCVCR14, DSC74, DSC74B, DSC74C, as well as the DMCOIL cooling/venting coil.

Sampling cells are needed when direct measurement of air or gas is not possible or desirable. This may be related to, for example, a high process temperature, protecting the sensor from water spikes, the need to easily detach the instrument from a pressurized process without running the whole process down, or wanting to make the measurement at a more convenient location. These factors also relate to the calibration of installed instruments.

All Vaisala sampling cells have ISO G1/2" female thread for connecting the measurement probe or transmitter.

The sampling cells are compatible with the following Vaisala probes and transmitters:

  • DMP80 dew point and temperature probe
  • DMP7 and DMP8 dew point and temperature probes 1 2
  • DMT132 dew point transmitter
  • DMT143 and DMT143L dew point transmitters
  • DMT152 dew point transmitter
  • DPT146 dew point and pressure transmitter

1 Additional Swagelok® installation kit (Vaisala item code SWG12ISO12) is needed for connecting DMP7 to the sampling cell.
2 DMP8 has tapered ISO R1/2" thread, while Vaisala sampling cells have parallel ISO G1/2" thread. To seal the connection, use high-density PTFE tape, for example Unipak Multitape PTFE Threaded Tape (Unipak item no. 1000600) or Swagelok PTFE Tape Thread Sealant (Swagelok item no. MS-STR-8). Follow the manufacturer's instructions when applying the tape.
