During metal coating, process gases play an important role. In numerous industrial and laboratory applications it is therefore necessary to use a gas flow or air flow with an exactly defined moisture content. Examples are sensor calibration processes, welding processes, clean-room technology, fuel cells or the wide field of metal coating. Water molecules in process gases during metal coating, for instance the annealing of steel surfaces, result in the release of carbon atoms from the metal lattice and their reaction with the oxygen atoms in the water to form carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. This decarbonisation consequently changes the properties of the material used prior to metal coating.

So that this effect can be utilised specifically in process technology, the moisture content of gas flows must be known. Accordingly, in many cases sensors are used that measure the dew point in a comparatively complex manner. This task is easier with DewCal. A further innovation from Falk is the MS probe. This probe makes it possible to continuously analyse the reactions during metal coating while the process is in progress.
