Vaisala is a reliable partner for customers around the world, offering a comprehensive range of innovative observation and measurement products and services.
No measuring instrument stays accurate by itself. It is essential that the functioning of an instrument is periodically checked against a reference. Vaisala has developed Vaisala Humidity Calibrator HMK15 makes calibration and spot checking of humidity probes and transmitters easy and reliable, although for critical applications we recommend a Vaisala Service Center calibration for the best possible results.
The operating principle of HMK15 is based on the fact that a saturated salt solution generates a certain relative humidity in the air above it. The reading of the humidity probe or transmitter can then be adjusted accordingly. Many leading laboratories use this generally accepted and reliable method to calibrate humidity instruments. Usually two or three different salt solutions are used. Salts are chosen according to the application.
HMK15 can be ordered with certified and pre-measured salts. A sample calibration is made from each batch in Vaisala’s Measurement Standards Laboratory (MSL).
Vaisala’s Measurement Standards Laboratory is a FINAS accredited calibration laboratory. FINAS is a member of the EA (the European Cooperation for Accreditation).
