Technical Specifications

Technical Overview

The AMETEK 5100P is a transportable moisture analyzer built on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology, used for measuring water vapor content in natural gas and other hydrocarbon streams. Per AMETEK Process Instruments’ official datasheet, the TDLAS measurement principle uses a laser and detector that never contact the process gas directly, eliminating the routine sensor calibration, fouling, and cleaning requirements associated with older contact-based moisture measurement technologies. The 5100P measures moisture over a range of 0–2,500 ppmv, with an accuracy and repeatability both specified at 2% of reading or ±4 ppmv (whichever is greater), and a minimum detectable limit of 5 ppmv in a methane background — sensitive enough to verify pipeline-quality gas dehydration to demanding custody-transfer specifications.

Response time is under 1 second for the photometer itself, with a full T90 response of under 15 seconds, giving near-real-time feedback when used for process troubleshooting or spot-checking a permanently installed analyzer’s readings. As a transportable instrument, the 5100P measures approximately 25.1 × 20.9 × 40.1 cm and weighs about 13.2 kg, with a rechargeable battery supporting at least 8 hours of continuous field operation, and operates at atmospheric sample-cell pressure for straightforward field sampling. The instrument is rated for an ambient operating temperature range of −20°C to +50°C and carries ATEX/IECEx and CSA/UL Class I Division 2 hazardous-area certification for use directly in classified field locations. Seven Star LLC notes that AMETEK’s official 5100P datasheet describes this specific model as a moisture-dedicated analyzer; customers requiring measurement of other gas parameters such as oxygen should confirm with Seven Star LLC whether a different AMETEK Process Instruments model is more appropriate for that specific measurement need.

Applications

The 5100P is used for pipeline moisture monitoring, custody transfer measurement verification, gas dehydration process performance checks, underground gas storage monitoring, and field spot-checks of permanently installed process moisture analyzers at gas processing and compressor stations — applications central to Oman’s natural gas processing and export infrastructure.

Why Seven Star LLC

Seven Star LLC supplies genuine AMETEK Process Instruments analyzers to customers across Oman and the GCC, and helps confirm the correct AMETEK model — whether the moisture-specific 5100P or another instrument in AMETEK’s broader gas analysis range — for a customer’s specific measurement requirement before order confirmation.

Request a Quote for AMETEK 5100P Transportable TDLAS-based analyzer

Contact Seven Star LLC to request a quotation for the AMETEK 5100P transportable TDLAS moisture analyzer. Our team can help confirm the correct AMETEK model for your specific gas measurement application, and support reliable delivery across Oman and the wider GCC region.

Ordering Notes

When requesting a quotation, please confirm your required moisture measurement range and any hazardous-area certification standard (ATEX, IECEx, or CSA/UL) applicable to your field deployment location, so Seven Star LLC can confirm the correct 5100P configuration for your gas processing or custody-transfer application.

Field Verification Value

Because the 5100P is transportable rather than permanently installed, it allows plant technicians to independently cross-check the readings of a fixed, in-line moisture analyzer without shutting down the process line, catching a drifting or malfunctioning permanent instrument before it leads to an out-of-specification gas shipment or an undetected dehydration process fault. Seven Star LLC can advise on a recommended field verification schedule for customers operating multiple permanently installed moisture analyzers across a gas processing facility.
