Reliable sensor helps farmers
Published: 27 January, 2014
MICHELL INSTRUMENTS is helping to increase the number of healthy chicks hatched in farms across Europe with its I7000 Hygrosmart temperature and relative humidity sensors.
The I7000 Hygrosmart temperature and relative humidity sensor can provide highly reliable and accurate measurements of these key parameters for chick hatching. The sensor is accurate to ±2%RH and to ±0.2°C and is highly stable with less than 1% RH drift over a year to maintain the ideal hatching conditions over time. The small yet robust sensor is also easily interchangeable with a simple ‘plug and play’ system, which means that farmers can maintain the accuracy of their RH and temperature measurements in the incubator themselves. The easy procedure takes only few minutes saving time is said to be extremely cost efficient.

MICHELL INSTRUMENTS says its new HygroSmart HS3 probe has been designed to withstand the kind of harsh and demanding conditions found in industrial processes. The company says unlike many ‘disposable’ probes that have a short life within harsh conditions before needing to be replaced, the HygroSmart HS3 sensor uses Michell’s polymer tile to give long-term reliable measurements
The new HygroSmart HS3 advanced interchangeable relative humidity and temperature probe from MICHELL INSTRUMENTS is said to be 100% configurable to allow maximum flexibility to the user. This gives users the ability to alter their RH and temperature measurements to keep step with changes or developments in their process, with no extra costs.
MICHELL INSTRUMENTS reports it has launched an improved version of its interchangeable relative humidity sensor – the HygroSmart I7000XP – which can enable users to carry out maintenance on industrial relative humidity and temperature transmitters in as little as 30 seconds. Michell says the new unit has been developed by its research department and features the latest polymer capacitive technology to give an accuracy of 1%RH.
A manufacturer of safety equipment for railways is relying on MICHELL’S Humidity and Temperature sensor, PF72-Series, to monitor and control its range of railway switch-point heating systems.
