Finland Vaisala Launches Tender

Vaisala launches the next-generation humidity and temperature transmitter series HMT370EX for hazardous environmentsVaisala a global leader in weather environmental and industrial measurements launches a new next-generation humidity and temperature transmitter series to take advantage of advancements in technology and to meet and exceed current hazardous area regulations.The new Vaisala HUMICAP Intrinsically Safe HMT370EX Humidity and Temperature Transmitter Series builds on over 20 years of experience with the trusted Vaisala HMT360 series with an even more robust and easy-to-use design.We are pleased to introduce the HMT370EX series which offers improved user experience better corrosion resistance and the latest Vaisala humidity measurement performance. Its a true successor to our trusted HMT360 product series and it can be effortlessly installed into existing systems says Product Manager Juhani Lehto of Vaisalas Industrial Measurements.Ideal solution for measuring humidity in hazardous environmentsHMT370EX series is designed specifically for hazardous and explosive environments. The entire transmitter can be installed directly in explosive areas up to zone 0 and zone 20. HMT370EX operates safely and reliably even in the most hazardous environments with no need for additional protective enclosures. Thanks to its rugged display the transmitter can withstand continuous exposure to potentially explosive areas that contain flammable gases or dust Lehto continues.Typical applications for HMT370EX include paint booths in automotive industry hydrogen cooled generators in electricity generation chemical plants and processes baking industry pharmaceuticals manufacturing oil and gas drilling platforms and fuel tanks and storage.Several probe options for different applicationsThe HMT370EX series consists of the transmitter and a wide selection of probes. The transmitter is equipped with an intuitive graphical display for improved ease of use. Hand-detachable measurement probes and easy product configuration and calibration with Vaisala Insight PC Software enable smooth maintenance minimizing any downtime in the measurement.HMT370EX offers several probe options for different applicationsHMP371 for wall mountingHMP373 for confined spacesHMP374 for pressurized spacesHMP375 for high temperatureHMP377 for high humidityHMP378 for pressurized pipelinesIn addition to measuring relative humidity and temperature the new transmitter outputs also dew point temperature wet-bulb temperature absolute humidity mixing ratio water concentration water mass fraction water vapor pressure and enthalpy.Available in early 2021HMT370EX can replace the HMT360 series in all the same applications where the HMT360 has been employed.We are proud to say that the HMT360 may now gradually retire after more than 20 years of success in various critical Ex-environments Juhani Lehto concludes. The new HMT370EX series will be available in the first quarter of 2021 with European ATEX and Global IECEx certificates. Ex certification for other regions will be available later during 2021.
