Dark spot shows gas dew point

Article Abstract:

The 'Condumax II' is an automatic dew point meter for natural gas that uses the formation of a dark spot, in light reflected by a film of liquid, to detect the onset of condensation. The technology, available from Michell Instruments, eliminates the human factor in measuring dew point in critical applications.
