Michell Instruments S8000 Integrale chilled mirror hygrometer

Michell Instruments has redesigned its S8000 Integrale chilled mirror hygrometer to take advantage of improvements in technology since its introduction in 2007.

The improvements cover three areas — mechanical design for increased durability and strength, improved sensor head for faster readings at lower dewpoints and increased simplicity of use with a touch-screen interface with intuitive menus. The S8000 Integrale MKII now includes many of the features found in Michell’s top-of-the-range chilled mirror instrument, the S8000 RS.

The S8000 Integrale MKII has an improved sensor head design, featuring improved integrity and sealing mechanisms. This means that the Integrale now has a faster response to -60°Cdp, improved sensitivity and faster reaction to transient dewpoint conditions. The pressure rating of the instrument has improved from 17 to 20 barg, and the unit still has the same accuracy of ±0.1°Cdp.

The updated chassis design is not purely cosmetic. As well as being more durable and resistant to scratches, the casing now facilitates easier access for maintenance: there are just four screws to remove rather than 18 on the previous model.

The full colour touch-screen interface is intuitive and makes the instrument both easy to use and interrogate. The S8000 Integrale also offers more options for communication. As well as Modbus RTU over USB, it offers the option for Ethernet, RS232 and RS485.

Typical applications for the s8000 Integrale include high-precision moisture measurements in metrology laboratories and cleanrooms as well as industrial applications.
