General Eastern

General Eastern Instruments is an American manufacturer specializing in precision humidity and dew point measurement solutions. The company developed a range of moisture transmitters, dew point sensors, and loop-powered instruments designed for demanding industrial process monitoring applications. General Eastern instruments became established references for trace moisture measurement in compressed gas systems, natural gas processing, and atmospheric research. The brand was subsequently acquired by Vaisala, a Finnish environmental measurement company.

General Eastern dew point transmitters are known for their ability to measure trace moisture at very low concentrations, making them suitable for applications where moisture contamination can damage processes or products.
