Michell Instruments has launched its upgraded S8000 chilled mirror hygrometer range. The first of the new instruments released in April 2018 were the S8000 RS and S8000 Remote. The mid-range S8000 Integrale is to be released in May.

The chilled mirror hygrometers from Michell cover a dewpoint range from -100 to +120°C dp, using both integral and remote sensors. The remote sensors can survive environmental temperatures up to +120°C, so can often be positioned directly at the point of interest.

The upgraded S8000 series instruments now use the same intuitive, touch-screen HMI, making them easier to use and configure. For multi-instrument users, the common interface makes it simple to switch between models. A complete range of communication options is now available on all models, giving the option of USB, Ethernet, RS232 or RS485 making it easier to establish connectivity with other systems. All models feature data logging to SD card as standard for convenient standalone operation.

The instruments use the chilled mirror principle to ensure reliable and drift-free measurements of dewpoint. The S8000 RS offers an accuracy of ±0.1°C dp, which can measure dewpoints down to -90°C with no need for additional cooling. Typical applications range from use as a calibration reference to industrial settings where precise control of humidity is critical.

The S8000 Remote combines high accuracy with a remote sensor for measuring directly in the process. Typical applications include environmental chamber verification, pharmaceutical manufacture or as a NMI-traceable precision reference tool for field calibrations.
