The Vaisala HUMICAP HM70 portable humidity and temperature indicator is designed for demanding on-site humidity measurements.

The Vaisala HUMICAP Handheld Humidity and Temperature Meter HM70 is designed for demanding humidity measurements in spot-checking applications. It is also ideal for field checking and calibration of Vaisala's fixed humidity instruments.

Features

  • Multilingual user interface
  • Shows measurement trends graphically
  • Multiprobe operation; dew point and CO2 probes can also be connected
  • Displays various humidity parameters including dew point, ppm, water vapor pressure, saturation water vapor pressure, wet bulb temperature, absolute humidity, mixing ratio and enthalpy
  • 2 Data can be logged, and transferred to a PC via MI70 Link software
  • Displays various humidity parameters
  • Sensor preheat and chemical purge options for demanding conditions
  • 6-point traceable calibration (certificate included)

Vaisala HUMICAP Technology 

The HM70 incorporates the latest generation of the Vaisala HUMICAP Sensor. It is reliable and has better than ever long-term stability. Additionally, it has a sensor that copes well with chemical interference and provides accuracy that lasts in demanding conditions.

Chemical Purge

The chemical purge option maintains measurement accuracy in environments with high concentrations of chemicals. The sensor preheat option reduces measurement delays as it keeps the sensor dry when the probe is inserted into hot and humid processes.

Three Probes to Choose From

The HMP75 is a general purpose probe whereas the HMP76 is a long, stainless steel probe especially suitable for spotchecking in ducts. The HMP77 is a small probe at the end of a 5-meter cable. The probe is ideal for di‚cult-to-reach areas and for on-site calibration of Vaisala's process transmitters. In addition, the HM70 supports the use of Vaisala's dew point, carbon dioxide and moisture in oil probes, allowing measurements in several multiparameter applications.

MI70 Link

The optional MI70 Link Windows software and the USB connection cable form a practical tool for transferring logged data and real time measurement data from the HM70 to a PC.
