What is the difference between water dewpoint and
hydrocarbon dewpoint in natural gas?
Water dewpoint is defined as the temperature to
which the gas must be cooled in order for water condensation to begin forming
(i.e. the gas has become fully saturated with water vapor). Hydrocarbon dewpoint
is the temperature to which the gas must be cooled in order for hydrocarbons to
begin to condense (i.e. the gas has become fully saturated with hydrocarbon
vapor). The Vaisala HUMICAP® Dewpoint and Temperature Transmitter HMT360N is designed to measure the water dewpoint
of natural gas.
