Climate measuring devices

Climate measuring devices

Climate measuring devices record all relevant climate parameters for the assessment of dew point and ΔT according to ISO 8502-4. They measure relative humidity, air temperature and surface temperature directly at the point of use – mobile, calibratable and standard-compliant. Modern instruments feature data loggers, app connectivity and automatic reporting functions for complete documentation.

Applications & benefits

Climate measuring devices are indispensable in blasting and coating operations, on shipyards, in steel and plant construction, for tanks/vessels, in the automotive industry and in quality assurance. A correctly performed ΔT check ensures that the surface is dry and ready for coating. This way, release approvals are documented, rework is minimized and audit-proof evidence is provided – from on-site use to the spray booth.

Measurement tasks & kit configuration

Dew point / ΔT (ISO 8502-4): Measurement of relative humidity, air temperature and surface temperature for calculating the ΔT value and assessing the risk of condensation. Precise dew point determination is critical for approvals in coating and blasting processes.

Sensors: Use of contact probes for metallic surfaces and optional infrared sensors with adjustable emissivity for non-contact measurements. Combined sensors enable the simultaneous acquisition of all climate-relevant parameters.

Data loggers & apps: Storage and monitoring of measurement series with freely selectable intervals. Alarm functions warn in case of limit violations, and automatic exports (e.g. CSV or PDF) simplify process documentation. Mobile apps enable real-time monitoring and remote access to current data.

Calibration: Traceable certificates for humidity, air and surface sensors ensure comparability and compliance with standards. Calibration cycles are stored in the QA database and monitored automatically.

Documentation: Measurement results are uniquely assigned via label and QR codes and archived as PDF or CSV reports. Integrated user and serial number management ensures traceability and audit security.

Product areas & integration

The portfolio includes handheld climate meters for ΔT/RH/T, surface temperature probes (contact/IR), data loggers as well as app and cloud solutions with interfaces for digital QA. We define scope of testing, standards (ISO 8502-4) and test point plan and integrate the instruments seamlessly into QA workflows, photo and report archives and audit processes. The result: reproducible climate data with complete traceability and audit compliance.
