Humor 20 Calibrator: A Portable Humidity Calibration Device
The Humor 20 Calibrator is a cutting-edge portable device that offers precise humidity calibration for metrology and quality departments. This device is designed to provide fast and accurate calibrations on in-place humidity sensors. With the Humor 20, users can achieve rapid calibrations, portability, and high accuracy.
Key Features of the Humor 20 Calibrator
The Humor 20 Calibrator boasts three essential features that make it an ideal choice for humidity calibration. First, its fast stabilization time allows for quick calibrations. Unlike traditional methods that can take hours to stabilize, the Humor 20 achieves stabilized humidity conditions in less than two minutes.
Second, its portability adds convenience to the calibration process. With a weight of approximately 45 pounds, the Humor 20 can be easily transported to where the sensors are. Whether it's on a cart or brought directly to the sensors, the Humor 20 ensures flexibility in calibrating multiple sensors.
Third, the Humor 20's accuracy is unmatched. It utilizes the same principle of measurement as the primary standard for humidity calibration used by the National Institute of Standards (NIST). With a full range accuracy of 0.3% RH, users can trust the Humor 20 for precise and reliable humidity calibrations.
Fast Stabilization Time for Rapid Calibrations
One of the standout features of the Humor 20 Calibrator is its remarkably fast stabilization time. Traditional humidity chambers or salt solutions often require hours to reach stabilized temperature and humidity conditions. In contrast, the Humor 20 achieves stabilization in less than two minutes.
This fast stabilization time reduces overall calibration time significantly. Users no longer have to waste hours waiting for the calibration chamber to stabilize. With the Humor 20, You can perform calibrations swiftly and efficiently, saving valuable time for other tasks.
Portability for Convenient Calibration
The portability of the Humor 20 Calibrator sets it apart from traditional calibration methods. Weighing around 45 pounds, the Humor 20 can be easily transported to the location of the humidity sensors. Whether it's a different room or a specific area within a facility, the Humor 20 ensures that calibrations can be performed conveniently on-site.
Additionally, the Humor 20 can be mounted on a cart, making it even more convenient for moving between different sensors. By attaching the Humor 20 to a portable compressor, users can bring the calibrator directly to the sensors without any hassle. This portability eliminates the need for transferring sensors to a centralized calibration facility.
Accurate Calibration with the Humor 20
Accuracy is a crucial factor when it comes to humidity calibration. The Humor 20 Calibrator excels in this aspect by utilizing the primary standard for humidity calibration, similar to the one used by the National Institute of Standards (NIST). This primary standard derives humidity concentration from the measurement of temperature and pressure, ensuring precise calibrations.
With a full range accuracy of 0.3% RH, the Humor 20 provides highly accurate calibrations, instilling confidence in the measurements. By using a primary method for generating humidity, the Humor 20 offers reliability and consistency, exceeding typical reference standards found in traceable methods.
How the Humor 20 Works
The Humor 20 Calibrator operates on a two-pressure method within its chambers. The calibrator contains two chambers made of heavy aluminum, providing excellent thermal mass. This thermal mass stabilizes and equalizes temperatures between the chambers.
The humidity in the calibration chamber is controlled by adjusting the pressure difference between the lower chamber, which is under high pressure, and the calibration chamber at ambient pressure. By maintaining the same temperature in both chambers, humidity can be accurately controlled within the calibrator.
To generate humidity, Water is poured into the lower chamber, which is then pressurized using a compressor or a tank of compressed air/nitrogen. The air in the lower chamber becomes saturated under high pressure. This controlled humidity flows into the calibration chamber, where it is measured and adjusted accordingly.
Using the Humor 20 for Calibration
Using the Humor 20 Calibrator for humidity calibration is a straightforward process. Once the sensor probe is inserted into the calibration chamber, the Blue dial on the calibrator is adjusted to set the desired humidity level for the first calibration point.
The blue dial regulates the pressure between the upper and lower chambers, quickly stabilizing the humidity. Users may refer to manufacturer recommendations or an E plus electronic sensor from Air Test for optimal stabilization time, which is typically around 30 minutes.
For those who wish to Record the calibration report on a PC, the Humor 20 features an RS-232 port for easy data transfer. Additionally, the calibration can be customized using the software interface, allowing for adjustments and subsequent calibration points. The Humor 20's fast stabilization time enables users to perform calibrations efficiently before moving on to the next sensor.
Optional Accessories for the Humor 20
The Humor 20 Calibrator offers various optional covers to accommodate a wide range of probe diameters. These covers ensure a snug fit and compatibility with almost any Type of humidity sensor. Additionally, there are covers specifically designed for wall mount sensors, expanding the calibrator's versatility.
To provide the necessary pressure for calibration, a very quiet portable generator capable of supplying up to 150 psi is also available as an optional accessory. This generator ensures that the Humor 20 has ample pressure for accurate calibrations without causing excessive noise disruptions.
Benefits of the Humor 20 Calibrator
The Humor 20 Calibrator offers several key benefits for users in need of humidity calibration. First, its primary method for generating humidity ensures high accuracy, with a tolerance of only 0.3% RH. This accuracy exceeds the standards of traditional traceable methods.
Second, the portability of the Humor 20 allows for in-place loop calibrations on various humidity sensors. Users can easily move the calibrator to different locations within their facility, eliminating the need for transferring sensors to a central calibration station.
Lastly, the fast stabilization time of the Humor 20 greatly reduces the time spent on calibrations compared to traditional methods. With stabilization achieved in less than two minutes, users can complete calibrations efficiently and increase productivity.
