Consider sacricial gold lter to remove mercury vapour – Consult with EMERSON.
5
Consult with EMERSON - for impedance type sensors, recommended concentration limit of Methanol <10%
of moisture concentration to be measured to ensure negligible interference effects.
6
At temperatures exceeding 50 °C (122 °F), the maximum concentration is 50 ppm.
Tab. 3-7: Limitation on Gases (II)
The sensor should also be resistant to most organic acids, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters and halogenated hydrocarbons, but will not be
resistant to very strong alkalis. If in doubt, consult with EMERSON.
