Vaisala DRYCAP® Handheld Dew Point Meter DM70 measures dew point temperature accurately in measurement range −60 °C … +60 °C (−76 … +140 °F), depending on the probe model. DM70 consists of 2 main units: the MI70 indicator and DMP74 probe, models A, B, or C.

DM70 can be used with an optional sampling cell to measure process dew point. It can also be used as a tool for reading the output of fixed Vaisala dew point transmitters, such as DMT242, DMT132, DMT143, DMT152, and DMT340.

DM70 measures the following parameters:

Table 1. Display parameters
Parameter Abbreviation Metric unit Non-metric unit

This Quick Guide introduces the features of the MI70 indicator and the basic measurement procedure with the DM70 meter.

1 Td/f shows dew point temperature above the freezing point (0 °C/32 °F) and frost point temperature Tf (dew point over ice)  below the freezing point. This is considered as the industry standard.
2 Td shows dew point over water throughout the entire measurement range.
