The new Michell S8000 is a high-precision, below ambient temperature dew-point hygrometer designed to meet the demands of humidity calibration laboratories and industrial applications. Michell’s engineers have used the latest developments in chilled mirror technology to achieve reliable, repeatable measurements of frost points down to -60 °C, with an accuracy of ±0.1 °C and no need for additional cooling.
Based on the design of our flagship S8000 -100 high precision chilled mirror hygrometer, at the heart of the new instrument is a unique advanced optics system, which detects small changes in moisture condensed on the mirror surface. This ensures high sensitivity and fast response to changes in frost point, even at low levels of humidity, where measurements are the most challenging. The new S8000 achieves accuracy of ±0.1 °C and reproducibility of ±0.05 °Cfp at -60 °Cfp
There is no need for operators to monitor the instrument continuously as it offers complete automation and remote monitoring via software. The wide range of communication protocols includes Modbus RTU over USB, and Modbus TCP over ethernet. Datalogging to SD card and user-configurable analogue outputs are also available.
Typical applications for the S8000 are as a reference hygrometer in humidity calibration facilities, as a spot-checking instrument for Clean/dry room environmental monitoring, R&D in application areas such as vacuum drying, compressed air dryers, and Hydrogen Fuel Cells, and in metallurgical process monitoring.
