Condumax II
Hydrocarbon Dew Point Analyzer
Condumax II is a fully self-contained hydrocarbon dew point analyzer that uses the proven "Dark Spot" hydrocarbon dew point measurement principle from the highly successful Condumax instrument as its foundation. Combining a hydrocarbon dew point cell and water dew point measurement in the same compact and lightweight enclosure which has been certified by CSA for use in hazardous locations, Condumax II requires nothing more than AC power to operate.
