WS18DS Water in Oil Sensor

The Pall WS18DS is designed to offer reliable measurement of water content in oils in demanding industrial applications. In addition to being able to measure both relative humidity and temperature to highly accurate and precise levels, the WS18DS is also capable of calculating the parts per million (PPM) content of dissolved water in oil.

The Effect of Water in Oil
Water contamination in fluid can cause numerous problems such as additive depletion, oil oxidation, corrosion, reduction of dielectric strength. These costly problems can be averted with continuous monitoring of oil water content with water in oil detector so that timely action can be implemented.

Hydraulic, lubrication and insulating fluids, and diesel fuels should be operated without the presence of free water and with dissolved water levels at 50% saturation or considerably of insulating oils.

Measures the dissolved water content in oil and displays this measurement in either % saturation or PPM.
