Relative humidity calibration goes on-site
Opti-Cal is a portable, fully self-contained humidity/temperature calibrator.
Perform on-site relative humidity calibrations
Humidity calibrator lets users of humidity sensors, transmitters and read-out devices quickly and accurately generate reference humidity conditions and perform on-site relative humidity calibrations.
The accreditation covers the relative humidity range 10 to 98% RH at temperatures from 10 to 82C and 10 to 73% RH from 82 to 90C.
Uncertainty is 2% of measured relative humidity at temperatures from 20 to 90C and 2.3% of measured relative humidity from 10 to 20C (at a coverage factor of k=2).
Best measurement uncertainty for temperature is +/-0.2C.
Michell Instruments' laboratory was the first to be UKAS accredited for the calibration of dew point hygrometers in 1986.
The laboratory has the widest dew point range of any hygrometer manufacturer, anywhere in the world, and is now accredited at humidity levels from -90 up to +82C dew point, with best uncertainty of 0.15C dew point at k=2 (for +20C dew point).
These latest extensions mean that Michell can offer a full range service for dew point and relative humidity calibration, at a competitive price, backed up by 18 years' experience in meeting and exceeding the exacting requirements of the UKAS accreditation system.
The system has worldwide recognition through the EA, ILAC and IAF.
This places Michell at the forefront of the provision of humidity calibration instrumentation and services, both for relative and absolute humidity (dew point). Request a free brochure from Michell Instruments ...
