MOD 4400 MOISTURE ANALYZER
MOD 4400
MOISTURE ANALYZER FOR CRUDE OIL
AND PETROLEUM LIQUIDS
USERS ADVANTAGES
BENEFITS
The MOD-4400 has been developed to measure on-line the moisture content in crude oil and
petroleum liquids, flowing through pipe lines. Its principle is based on Radio Frequency Dielectric
Sensors Technology, sensing by VHF radio waves and using dielectric properties.
Application of this technology provides the following users advantages:
Fast analyses
Accurate
Real -Time and On-Line data about moisture
content of the liquid
Ultra Safe
Applicable in fuels and petroleum liquids
Very reliable and robust, with no moving parts
Not affected by fouling
Resistant to abrasive materials
Resistant to mechanical stress and impacts
High corrosion resistance
Usage In-line
Easy to install
Low cost

MOD - 4400 MOISTURE ANALYZER
ANALYZER STRUCTURE
Radio frequency (RF) Dielectric Technology in moisture analyses:
Several technologies are used to measure moisture in fluids, and are based on the relatively
high dielectric properties of water relatively to fluids, including crude oil and petroleum
liquids. Utilization of well defined radio waves gives the MOD 4400 its unique properties to
measure moisture in homogenous as well as in inhomogeneous materials.
Analyzer System
The MOD 4400 moisture analyzer is equipped
with flanges, to enable easily incorporation
into a pipe line. The analyzer and flanges can
be delivered in different sizes.
The MOD 4400 is applicable to measure
moisture in fuels and petroleum products.
The sensor is made as a pipe section with
flanges of stainless steel. The probe inside the
pipe made of stainless steel with a flat
topped U-form shape.
The probes and incorporated
temperature sensor, are connected to
its control unit to accurately
determines the moisture content of
the liquids passing through the sensor
pipe.
