High precision hygrometer
THE NEW MICHELL S8000 –100 is a high-precision, low dew-point hygrometer designed to meet the demands of humidity calibration and standards laboratories.
Michell’s engineers have used the latest developments in chilled mirror technology to achieve reliable, repeatable measurements of low dew points down to -100 °C, with an accura- cy of ±0.1 °C, without the need for additional cooling.
At the heart of the new instru- ment is a unique advanced optics system, which detects minute changes in moisture condensed on the mirror surface.
This ensures high sensitivity and fast response to changes in frost point, even at low levels of
humidity, where measurements are the most challenging.
The S8000-100 hygrometer achieves ±0.25 °C stability @-100 °Cfp in less than six hours, the best speed available from any in- strument in its class, and achieves a reproducibility of ±0.15 °Cfp re- producibility at -100 °Cfp.
Additionally, the S8000 -100 is the smallest and lightest instrument of- fering frost-point measurements down to -100 °C. It weighs 22 kg and fits into the 19” rack format or can be used comfortably on a bench.
There is no need for operators to monitor the instrument continu- ously as it offers complete automa- tion and remote monitoring via software.

K17 is a closed cell phenolic foam insulation with a fibre-free core.
High performance insulation
REPLACING YOUR STANDARD
internal plasterboard with King- span Kooltherm K17 is the most cost-effective way of achieving a 7 Star energy rated home.
With the recent release of the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022 for public discussion, the new code intends to place greater emphasis upon a net zero energy buildings target. This tar- get will be achieved by increasing the energy efficiency of residential buildings.
Using a high performing insula- tion like Kingspan Kooltherm K17
Insulated Plasterboard can increase the thermal performance of a home, resulting in a higher energy efficien- cy star rating.
Kooltherm K17 is a high perfor- mance, closed cell phenolic foam in- sulation with a fibre-free core. K17 installs similar to a plasterboard, has almost twice the thermal per- formance of a standard batt and is extremely easy to work with.
Kingspan Kooltherm K17 will help achieve a 7 Star NatHERs rating, while maintaining original frame thickness along with reducing the amount of double glazing needed.
