Humidity generator for calibrating probes and loggers
July 2017Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Fluke Calibration has introduced the portable, versatile 5128A RHapid-Cal humidity generator for calibrating a large workload of probes and loggers in the field or laboratory. The 5128A is ideal for corporate and independent calibration labs where humidity measurement is critical to prevent spoilage of products, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, semiconductors, chemicals and food production. The 5128A is lightweight and compact, so technicians can easily take it to the field for thorough, reliable multi-point calibration of humidity probes and loggers. In the laboratory, the 5128A reduces calibration time by at least 33% compared to traditional two-pressure humidity generators, which are slower to respond to humidity and temperature set point changes.
The 5128A delivers best-in-class system accuracy of ±1,0% RH for dependable humidity probe calibration as well as rapid humidity and temperature stabilisation time for high calibration throughput. The rate of change for temperature increase is typically 10°C/minute and for temperature decrease 1,5°C/minute. The rate of change for humidity increase is typically 10% RH/minute and for decrease 5% RH/minute. A six-point calibration can be done in two hours.
Maintenance is easy. A front-loading desiccant cartridge can be easily changed by removing the front cap and sliding in a new one. Only clean distilled water is needed to operate the 5128A. It comes standard with an ISO 17025 accredited system calibration and is backed by Fluke Calibration’s world-class metrology and support.
