Matt Chambers
Product Manager

Servomex is the expert in moisture analysis for your process, with an extensive range of moisture analyzer products to measure H2O in a wide range of applications. Our diverse moisture measurement solutions include industry-leading low-level trace measurement solutions for the most demanding semiconductor and ultra-high-purity gas applications, as well as moisture analyzers for general industrial gas purity monitoring, and challenging industrial process conditions.

Why measure moisture?

As a contaminant, moisture can significantly affect product quality and process efficiency. It may reduce productivity, damage equipment, and cause unplanned downtime. The accurate measurement of H2O levels in process gases depends on using the right sensing technology to suit each application. As the expert moisture analyzer manufacturer, Servomex offers a wide range of sensing technologies, powering industrial moisture analyzers in a variety of processes including semiconductor manufacturing, medical gases, and air separation units.

The importance of measuring moisture in semiconductor fabs

Ultra-trace qualification of UHP electronic gases is essential for semiconductor fabrication. Even the smallest impurities can cause major defects in a wafer, leading to costly scrap and waste. A moisture analyzer is required that can deliver high-stability measurements with sensitive and consistent performance. An accurate, ultra-trace-level lower detection limit is a must, as is the need to easily store and recall data/calibration records.

Our solutions

Servomex offers a range of sensing technologies for moisture analysis, ranging from ppm-level analysis to the lowest ultra-trace measurements available.

  • Aluminum Oxide sensors work by measuring the capacitance between the aluminum core and a gold film deposited on the oxide layer. The capacitance varies according to the water vapor content in the pores of the oxide layer.
  • Gas Filter Correlation sensing is an advanced Infrared-based measurement technology based on the unique light-absorbing properties of some gases. It performs effectively where extremely accurate, low-level measurements are needed, or where background gases may interfere with the measurement.
  • Infrared sensing is a flexible measurement technology based on the unique light-absorbing properties of some gases, delivering a non-contact, real-time detection of the selected gas’s concentration in a mixture.
  • TDLAS moisture sensing is a specially configured version of our Tunable Diode Laser sensor which is highly specific to moisture, and offers a fast, highly stable, continuous measurement.

Our solutions for moisture analysis

Servomex leads the way in trace and ultra-trace moisture measurements, with our industry-leading SERVOPRO DF-700 series delivering exceptional lower detection limits that meet the most exacting demands of 300mm semiconductor fabs. The AquaXact 1688 moisture sensor provides dew point and ppm moisture analysis for a wide range of industrial gas applications, connecting to a SERVOPRO MultiExact DF310E, MultiExact 4100, or its own dedicated Controller. For hazardous area industrial moisture analysis, the SERVOTOUGH SpectraExact 2500 uses photometric analysis to measure moisture in challenging process environments.
