steam quality meter - success ???
(OP)
Dear sirs,
We are upgrading our steam seperators/demisters to prevent wet steam. A contact company has suggested installing steam quality meters...to measure wet fraction (i think)
Has anyone had any success with these meters and their prespective on how effective they are?
(i've repeated this post on the chem eng forum as I dont know where the best place to post this is) - sorry

I have wanted something like this for many years, my application measuring the wetness fraction of steam leaving the LP turbine, in order to get a grip on turbine efficiency. The only thing I have come accross is EPRI reference 1004051 Demonstration of EPRI STEEM Optical probe for steam quality measurement. However, this report was done in 2001, thus there may be something commercial at this stage.
If you do find something there will be many performance engineers out there who will be VERY interested!
