S8000 Integrale cooled mirror hygrometer

reduced response time

Michell Instruments Ltd

The S8000 Integrale cooled mirror hygrometer is able to cope with sample gas at pressures of up to 17 barG. This means a reduced response time which can help save users time and money in dry applications – suchas compressed air and bottled gases – where low dew-points are reached. Pressurising the sample speeds up the response time because the gas will have a higher dew point than the same sample at atmospheric pressure. This is because the water molecules are squeezed closer together under pressure making the sample ‘wetter’ than it would be at atmospheric pressure.
