Humidity device enables on-site
calibration
A humidity calibrator enables users of humidity sensors, transmitters and read-out devices to quickly and accurately generate reference humidity conditions for on-site calibrations.
Rense Instruments S-503 humidity calibrator is the latest addition to a comprehensive range of dewpoint and relative humidity generators Along with the Opti-Cal % rh calibrator, the HG10 calibration system and the Optidew Vision reference dew pointmeter, the S-503 adds to an already formidable range available from Rense and sister company Michell Instruments

3D models of off-the-shelf telescopic slides
Telescopic ball bearing slide designer and manufacturer, Accuride International, has produced optimised 3D models of its 'off-the-shelf' products which can be downloaded via its website.
The S-503 Humidity Calibrator enables users of humidity sensors, transmitters and read-out devices to quickly and accurately generate reference humidity conditions and thus perform on-site relative humidity calibrations in a time and cost effective manner.
Set points from 10 to 90% rh in steps of 0.1% rh are available from the instrument's front panel.
The calibrator has an axial fan that continuously circulates air through the test chamber for maximum humidity and temperature uniformity.

Using the advantages offered by differentials companies operating in industries such as printing, packaging and labelling can expect to make significant gains.
This results in a system that stabilizes within 0.5% rh of the set point in typically less than 10 minutes.
The calibrator provides a direct readout of the measured humidity for a range of voltage and current transmitters that do not have an integral display, as well as providing a display the % rh and temperature for the chamber itself.
These lightweight, transportable, self-contained units utilize a thin film capacitive sensor and closed loop controllers to modulate the flow of air through a saturation and desiccant chamber.
The unit has access ports for seven probes, up to 18.5mm in diameter and can easily be adapted to suit the wide variety of commercially available humidity probes currently on the market.
The S-503 can be supplied with a UKAS calibration certificate if required.
For the ultimate in bench top humidity calibration, the S-503 can also be specified with an independent reference standard, such as Michell Instruments' Optidew Vision cooled mirror dewpoint meter.
Aside from the lower cost saturated sales solutions (also available from Rense Instruments), it is believed that the S-503 represents 'the' most cost effective method for the multi-point calibration of relative humidity currently available.
The S-503 is part of an impressive range of humidity calibrators and relative humidity products, suitable for many applications available from Rense Instruments.
Rense's sister company Michell Instruments also offers a complimentary range of generators and reference standard hygrometers.
