Michell Instruments S8000RS chilled-mirror hygrometer

The Michell Instruments S8000RS chilled-mirror hygrometer offers accuracy of ±0.1°C, with a wide measurement range of -90 to +20°C dewpoint. It is a suitable choice for moisture control in a range of metallurgical processes, including sintering.

For sintering carried out at 600°C, maintaining a constant dewpoint of -60°C in the furnace is necessary and the gas is sampled at several points in the process. A fast-responding moisture analyser is essential so that action may be taken quickly if moisture levels rise above acceptable limits.

The product uses the fundamental chilled mirror technique to measure moisture, which ensures long-term accuracy to ±0.1°C dewpoint as well as reliability and a fast response. The measurement range of -80 to +20°C dp is suitable to ensure consistent monitoring at -60°C with confidence in the accuracy.

The product’s small size is possible because it does not require any external cooling, which makes it well suited to metallurgical applications where its small footprint makes it easy to install in an air-conditioned instrumentation cabinet.
