Vaisala’s modular, customizable Indigo Family instrument platform is designed to improve process measurements with accuracy and long-term stability. Indigo devices include transmitters, interchangeable smart probes that measure various parameters, and software for easy interfacing and monitoring of data. Any Indigo[DA1]  probe connects with any of the Indigo transmitters, or can be integrated into other systems. The Indigo family is used to measure humidity, temperature, dew point, moisture in oil, carbon dioxide, barometric pressure, or vaporized hydrogen peroxide. The probes deliver repeatable measurement with high resolution, providing reliable data for long term decision making.

 

Humidity Measurement Products

Humidity is water in the form of an invisible gas, and it can be measured and defined with different parameters. Industrial manufacturing must control humidity to achieve efficient processes and satisfactory end product quality.

Some Vaisala instruments measure relative humidity (RH), which is a measure of the water vapor content of air. Relative humidity at a given temperature indicates the present state relative to maximum humidity.Humidity control is also critical in many spaces that can be considered hazardous, such as locations where flammable or explosive materials like fuels, chemicals, explosives are being stored. Potentially explosive atmospheres require specially designed and approved instruments for safe operation, so Vaisala designs instruments such as the HMT370EX Humidity and Temperature Transmitter for these spaces.

Vaisala’s high-quality measurement instruments offer important benefits:

• Energy-savings, particularly in drying applications where accurate humidity measurement enables energy and cost savings by avoiding over-drying and over-heating the air.
• Product quality, where precise humidity data enables production process optimization and ensures end product humidity to improve shelf life or stability.
• Safety & well-being, by optimizing air for breathing and for avoiding the formation of mold.
