Michell moisture control will dew nicely
Michell Instruments has released the SF Series, offering cost-effective control of moisture via dew point measurement.
Michell dew point meter has 250m cable
Now having an increased cable length of up to 250m, a dew point meter can be installed remotely to the electronics of the hygrometer, said Michell Instruments.
The other instrument is to be used to monitor argon with a dewpoint of -80 degC.
The argon is to be used for welding and the moisture content is critical to achieve the extremely high standard of welding required in the reconstruction of a nuclear power station After the explosion of one on the nuclear reactors in April 1986, the policy of the authorities was to source all equipment from local (Ukrainian or Russian) equipment.
However the required specification and quality of the Cermax cannot be matched by local equipment so special dispensation was given to Regular Co which allowed them to quote Cermax as part of the tender process, in which they were duly successful.
The Cermax utilises the Michell Instruments Ceramic Sensor to provide accurate and stable measurement of moisture of most commonly used gases.
Features include data logging, pressure compensation and fast response.
For hazardous areas and explosive gases the Cermax IS is available, which is ATEX, FM and CSA certified. Request a free brochure from Michell Instruments ...
