ACCURRA-S M015 is an online trace moisture analyser with a ceramic sensor, reading minus 80 to plus 20 C dew point to plus or minus 2 C, or ppm. Check the calibration approach with Sarvesh before ordering, as field calibration of dew point is limited.
Specifications

From the current Sarvesh product datasheets and company profile. Specifications may change without notice as products improve. The final responsibility to check that a product meets the process and analyser requirement remains with the customer.
Key features
- Reads in dew point or ppm
- Dual-channel with 3015 trace oxygen in one enclosure
- Alarm relays, 4-20 mA and Modbus like the rest of ACCURRA-S
How it works
Moisture is the hardest of the common impurities to measure at trace level, because water clings to surfaces and slows the reading. The ceramic sensor in M015 works across a very wide dew point range, and the sensor bypass valve isolates it during start-up, line purging or when the sample is much wetter than normal, so it recovers quickly.
Dew point is the natural unit for dry gases. Minus 60 C is roughly 10 ppm of water vapour at atmospheric pressure, and each 10 degrees lower is roughly three times drier.
Requirements and limits
- Safe-area analyser.
- Field calibration is not possible on M015; ask us how the sensor is checked and recalibrated.

What is the range?
Minus 80 to plus 20 C dew point.
How fast is the response?
About 2 minutes dry to wet at 5 LPM.
Can I read oxygen and moisture together?
Yes, as the dual-channel 3015 plus M015.
Can I calibrate dew point on site?
No. Field calibration is not possible on M015; ask us how the sensor is checked and recalibrated.
