AMETEK’s Model 3050-AM
sets the ease-of-use standard
for accurate, ppmv moisture
analysis. This analyzer offers a
truly remarkable combination of
performance features: exceptional
accuracy, multi-gas compatibility,
fast response speed, and wide
measurement range.
t The 3050-AM is ideal for
process moisture measurement
applications including process
dryers, instrument air dryers,
air separators, industrial gas
production, and quality assurance.
Equipped with an on-line
verification system, this state-ofthe-art analyzer is designed to
rapidly build and maintain operator
confidence in its analyses. The
verification system allows you to
challenge the analyzer’s sensor at
will using a zero gas to check its
baseline stability to confirm the
sensor’s stability and sensitivity to
sub-ppmv moisture concentrations.

The Model 3050-AM combines the
excellent multi-gas compatibility
of the Model 2850 with a new,
easy-to-use operator interface. It is
completely compatible with virtually
all non-corrosive gases including
inerts (He, Ar, Ne, Xe, Kr), H2, O2, N2,
air, and many specialty gases such
as sulfur hexafluoride. A single,
simple menu selection is all that is
needed to re-configure the 3050AM for a new gas type. There are
no other necessary adjustments on
the analyzer.
t So, if you want to analyze
industrial, high purity, or
semiconductor grade gases
and need an instrument that is
compatible with a wide range of
gases, turn to the Model 3050-AM.

Exceptional accuracy
The Model 3050-AM is perfect for
moisture applications that require
accurate results. The accuracy of
this analyzer, ±10% of reading, is
exceptional when you consider
that a new aluminum oxide
sensor is typically specified with
an accuracy of +72%/-57% of
reading (converted from the dew
point specifications) for a moisture
concentration of 0.1 ppmv at 14.7

psia. Quartz-crystal technology
and an on-line verification system
combine to constantly provide
assurance that the analyzer is
continuing to provide you with this
superior level of performance.

On-line zero-gas verification
confirms analytical stability
The on-line verification system
in the 3050-AM uses an internal
zero verification system. The zero
verification system strips the
moisture from the sample gas prior
to analysis by the sensor. This
allows you to verify the zero point of
the sensor’s calibration, enhancing
accuracy and user confidence
when monitoring in the critical 0
to 10 ppmv range. This system
is entirely internal to the analyzer
eliminating the need to break
process connections along with
the "wet-up" that would occur from
ambient moisture. An alarm contact
alerts the operator if the analyzer
fails verification. The verification
sequences can be started on a
programmable schedule or on
manual demand.

Fast response speed
The Model 3050-AM responds
quickly to both increases
and decreases in moisture
concentration because the analyzer
