Oil and Water have dissimilar dielectric properties; the typical value for oil is between 1.7 and 2.3 depending on the API oil gravity and water has a typical value of 80. So, in the other words, water is capable of storing much more energy per volume unit than the average oil. It is important to understand that any changes to the oil that affects the dielectric properties of the oil will show up as a change in water content. The capacitance changes in pF can be correlated to changed in water content (temperature compensated) and output to a remote display, flow computer or data system.

The EASZ-1 has a built in default calibration table. Using the default table will give good readings for water content up to 60% with almost all oils. It is also possible to adjust ranges without new eproms or new electronics. The EASZ-1 card has a user selectable ranged 0-1%, 0-3%, 0-10%, 0-25% and 0-60%. This can be useful for fabricators who may not have all correct data on hand during skid fabrication or for users on site who may wish to improve accuracy along with oil sampling data or lab data

  
Another unique feature of the IS-EASZ-1 is the ability to either use our factory curve or a custom curve. This makes it possible for the IS-EASZ-1 to extend its application to hydrocarbons or other liquids which have dissimilar dielectric properties. Factory or onsite adjustments can be made if necessary for non typical applications. The IS-EASZ-1 can be configured through a simple terminal protocol along with a supplied RS-232 connector.
