Handheld meter detects moisture in oils
The Vaisala Humicap MM70 handheld moisture and temperature meter for oil detects moisture in lubrication, hydraulic and transformer oils.
The new state-of-the-art facility meets these requirements and is one of the few privately owned clean rooms in Finland.
The new clean room ensures that Vaisala continues to provide high-technology products that enable reliable and accurate measurements.
The new facility replaces the old Vaisala clean room which was opened in 1981.
This clean room was originally built to manufacture integrated circuits and humidity sensors for Vaisala radiosondes and measurement instruments.
Since the 1990s, due to the development of the Vaisala sensor technology, the production has concentrated on humidity and barometric pressure sensors.
In 2002, the need for additional space and modernisation lead to the decision to invest in a new facility.
The construction work was completed in 2003 and the 500m2 clean room was ready for use in summer 2004.
The total investment was Eur 6.5 million.
Approximately 900,000 sensors are produced annually in the clean room.
The majority of these sensors are used in Vaisala radiosondes, and the rest in Vaisala's humidity, barometric pressure and carbon dioxide products.
The clean room complies with ISO6 and ISO5 standards. Request free introductory details about products from Vaisala ...
