Michell Instruments
Global Leader for Solutions in Moisture, Humidity and Gas Analysis
Established in 1974, the Michell Instruments Group of
Companies brings more than 35 years of research, design
and state-of-the-art technology to the world of moisture
measurement and control. The current products include:
Products
• dew-point transmitters
• chilled mirror hygrometers
• relative humidity (RH) sensors
• process moisture analyzers
• hydrocarbon dew-point analyzers
• moisture in liquid analyzers
• oxygen analyzers
Technology Centers
Michell’s Technology Center of Excellence is in Ely,
UK, where many research projects are carried out in
association with world-famous, and nearby, Cambridge
University. Other R&D facilities are based in Oosterhout,
The Netherlands and Lyon, France.
Manufacturing
Michell Instruments has three manufacturing locations:
Oosterhout, The Netherlands; Lyon, France and Ely UK
(the main certifi ed {BS EN ISO 9001:2008} manufacturing
facility). This UK location also boasts UKAS accreditation,
NIST and NPL, certifi ed calibration traceability, and many
other worldwide approvals including ATEX, FM, UL, CSA
and many more.
Service and Support
Michell prides itself with an extensive network of factory
trained application engineers, subsidiaries and distributors
stretching across 56 countries. Service centers and
calibration laboratories are located on three continents
- North America, Europe and Asia. The company, always
aware of the importance of after-sales, offers fi eld
support and exchange programs to maintain continuous
operation at its customers’ facilities.
Applications
High-precision capacitive moisture transmitters help
customers to measure trace moisture in their process
applications and are the No. 1 choice for manufacturers
of drying systems worldwide. Relative Humidity
transmitters and temperature sensors are widely used
in HVAC applications, weather stations, pharmaceutical
storage and many other processes where controlled
environmental conditions are crucial.
Companies around the world save thousands of euros
using Michell’s humidity calibration systems, incorporating
the Michell reference chilled mirror dew-point
hygrometers. The calibration of portable hygrometers and
relative humidity instruments in-house, reduces down-
time and cuts expense.
Michell offers the high-speed measurement of oxygen in
a range of applications, including combustion optimization
for power stations, controlling levels of CO
2
for breweries,
and clean-gas processes, such as silicon wafer production
and pure gas generation.
Users in the natural gas industry and power plants save
millions of euros in repairs and down-time by using the
Condumax II hydrocarbon dew-point analyzers. These
instruments ensure transmission of natural gas quality at
custody transfer and also prevent gas burner failure and
prolong the life of process equipment.
Other analyzers for moisture in hydrocarbon liquids
are available in explosion proof, intrinsically safe, as
well as laboratory versions, and allow the continuous
measurement of the moisture content in a wide range of
hydrocarbon liquids, including transformer oil, hydraulic
oil, petrochemical fractions and pure hydrocarbons.
