The S8000 precision hygrometer provides a direct measurement of dew point, temperature and pressure. Suitable for both industrial and laboratory applications, the instrument is compact and self-contained.
 
Dew-point measurement is based on the proven, fundamental optical chilled mirror measurement principle, giving long-term reliable humidity measurement over the entire operating range. The S8000 uses this measurement to offer a range of available measurement units including ppmV, absolute humidity, relative humidity and ppmW.

• ±0.1°Cdp (±0.18°Fdp) accuracy
• Fundamental, accurate and drift-free measurement
• Simple configuration and operation via touch screen interface
• Precision measurements to –60°C (–76°F) dew point
• FAST – guaranteed frost formation below 0°C (+32°C)
• Measure at pressures up to 2 MPa (20 barg)
• USB, Ethernet, RS485 or RS232 connectivity
• Datalogging to SD card or via digital comms
