Cosa Xentaur Corporation

What Cosa Xentaur Corporation does

COSA XENTAUR Corporation (legal entity: Process Insights, Inc.) is an industrial instrumentation brand specializing in dew point and moisture measurement for critical process applications. The company develops and manufactures aluminum oxide-based moisture sensors using its proprietary Hyper-Thin-Film (HTF™) technology, which the company claims provides faster response times, lower long-term drift, and superior measurement stability compared to conventional aluminum oxide sensors, with a measurement range from -110°C to +20°C dew point. The product portfolio includes fixed transmitters (LPDT, XDT, XDT-EX, HDT, HDT-LQ Series), portable meters (XPDM Series), and extractive sampling systems (ESS, ESS-SCVP) that integrate with DCS, PLC, SCADA, and Modbus platforms.

The company's customer base spans natural gas processing, hydrogen production and fuel cells, semiconductor manufacturing, compressed air systems, pharmaceutical and medical gases, and petrochemical/refining operations. COSA XENTAUR operates as a wholly-owned brand within the Process Insights conglomerate, which also encompasses Tiger Optics (CRDS), MBW Calibration (chilled mirror), Atom Instrument, Analect (FTIR), Extrel (mass spectrometry), Guided Wave, LAR, and Alpha Omega Instruments. The company maintains regional sales operations across the Americas, EMEAI (including India), APAC, and China, distributing products through a direct, consultative sales model. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of dew point instrumentation, supplemented by calibration, maintenance, and technical support services for the installed base.

The company was founded in 1982, is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and holds ISO 9001 quality management certification. Recent operational signals include the planned 2026 discontinuation of the XDT-XPH Transmitter product line due to vendor-supplied component changes requiring recertification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not reported in available materials.
