Vaisala DRYCAP® Dew Point and Temperature Probe DMP8 is designed for industrial low-humidity applications such as industrial drying, compressed air systems, and semiconductor industry. It can be installed in a 1/2" NPT or ISO thread with adjustable insertion depth.
- Operating temperature of probe head −40 … +80 °C (−40 … +176 °F)
- Operating temperature of probe body −40 … +80 °C (−40 … +176 °F)
- Operating pressure of probe head 0–40 bar (0–580 psi), absolute
An optional ball valve kit allows for inserting or detaching the probe from a pressurized line.
For more information on using the probe with the ball valve, see Ball Valve Kit (BALLVALVE-1) Installation Guide (M212837EN).

- Clasp nut, 24 mm hex nut

- Fitting body, 27 mm hex head
- 3
- Leak screw (on ISO 1/2" fitting body HM47432 only)
| Fitting body with a leak screw can be useful when the probe head cannot be installed directly in the pressurized process or process pipe. The leak screw allows a small sample flow to escape from the process out to atmospheric pressure, enabling a fast response time although the probe is not installed in the process. |

Seal with a suitable thread sealant. For example, LOCTITE® No. 542 with activator No. 7649, MEGA-PIPE EXTRA No. 7188, or PTFE tape.

Follow the instructions of the sealant manufacturer. PTFE tape does not lock the parts together. Use two fork wrenches (24 mm and 27 mm) when tightening and opening the clasp nut of the probe. |
