Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct MTS5-331 variant or equivalent:
- Measurement range: Confirm required dew point range (e.g., −100°C to +20°C dp)
- Process pressure: Verify operating pressure rating matches your line pressure
- Output signal: Select 4–20 mA, RS-485, HART, or fieldbus based on your control system
- Hazardous area classification: Specify ATEX/IECEx zone if required
- Probe type: In-line vs. extractive sampling — confirm installation method
- Calibration interval: Consider sensor replacement cycle for total cost of ownership
- Replacement vs. equivalent: For OEM replacement, use MTS5-331-10; for cost-optimized equivalent, consult Konmask for cross-reference

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the MTS5-331-10 still in production?
A: The MTS5 series has been updated by Baker Hughes. Contact Konmask to confirm current production status and available new/surplus stock.
Q: Can I replace MTS5-331-10 with a Michell or Vaisala equivalent?
A: Functionally yes in most cases, but sensor interface, probe dimensions, and output scaling must be verified. Konmask can provide a compatibility checklist.
Q: Do you provide calibration with the unit?
A: Calibration certificates are available for new units. Recalibration service can be arranged through our partner labs.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typical lead time for sourced units is 2–6 weeks depending on global availability. Contact us for current stock status.
Q: Can you supply the sensor probe separately?
A: Yes. Replacement aluminum oxide sensor probes for the MTS5 series are available. Specify your probe part number when ordering.
