Michell Instruments DG3 & Easidew Online Hygrometer
The DG3 dewpoint generator coupled with Easidew online hygrometer has the capability to generate and measure humidity over a wide range of dew points (-40 to +20°Cdp)
The hygrometer is accurate and has a fast response. It has an easy to read loggable display.
The sensor is run almost continuously monitoring the humidity of the laboratory compressed air supply and so information about its long-term stability can be obtained. Users are invited to utilize the humidity generation facility for the testing of the effects of humidity on their instrumentation.
The DG3 is a single-stage mixing humidity generator. It is operated by manually mixing the two gas streams using flow control valves. The DG3 provides flows up to 5 Nl/min (10.6 scfh) and generates dew points ranging from -40 to +20°Cdp (-40 to +68°Fdp).
The instrument has a high stability and repeatability and has a fast response to changes in set-point.
A loggable dew-point hygrometer (Easidew online) is connected downstream of the generator which allows accurate recording of the set humidity.

Data from instruments that are part of a laboratory do not archive their data to CEDA and so do not have to conform to any AMOF standard.
Data can be provided for the period of time that the user has accessed the facility.
