Products

Chell Instruments Ltd has over 30 years experience in supplying instrumentation for the measurement and control of gas pressures and flows in a diverse variety of applications. Our long list of equipment makes us one of the foremost suppliers to a range of industries, from energy and pharmaceutical to automotive and aerospace. We specialise in Aerodynamic Pressure Measurement, Aerospace Pressure Measurements, Air Movement Systems, Gas Analysis, Brewery Gas Flow Control, Cryostat & Superconducting Magnet Temperature Control, Diffusivity Testing, Drying - Freeze: Polymer: Cable: Transformer, Engine Air Bleed Controller, Fuel Cells, Gas Blending Systems, Gas Flow Calibration Systems, Heat Treatment Furnaces, High and Ultra-High Vacuum Systems, Lamp, Laser and Vacuum Tube Manufacture, Leak Rate Testing & Monitoring, Mask Pattern Generation Tools, MOVPE Bubbler Pressure & Flow Control, Optical Fibre Manufacturing, Permeability Testing, Photolithography, Plasma Torch Gas Control, Porosity Testing & Filter Performance, Power Generation Instrumentation, Pressure and Vacuum Calibration Systems, Electronic & Thin-Film Industry Products, Superplastic Forming Press Control Systems, Turbo Machinery Testing, Vacuum Calibration Systems, Wind Tunnel Instrumentation, Wind Turbine Instrumentation and Window Weather Permeability Testing.


Sound like a long list? We pride ourselves on the comprehensive range of products we supply. These are just some of the applications and products we specialise in, and if you cannot find what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to contact us-it’s likely we can't find the product for you.

What's more, Chell Instruments is also able to offer a highly competitive commercial calibration facility with a UKAS accredited calibration lab. This is a viable, cost-effective alternative for customers who may have seen National Standards Laboratories such as NPL and NIST as the only facilities for the calibration of their pneumatic pressure balances. We can calibrate and repair all Principal and own products using a first-class, BS/EN/ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory with some of the lowest uncertainties currently available. Our lab provides a comprehensive service for Vacuum, pneumatic Pressure and Gas Flow measuring and controlling. Chell's calibration standards have some of the lowest uncertainties in their fields, which gives our customers great confidence in their "bought-in" uncertainties. Because of this, the aggregation of our uncertainties with your in-house uncertainties provides you and your customers with products that are high-performing. Regulations for reduced operational uncertainties in industries such as aerospace and pharmaceutical can therefore be met by periodically using our calibration service. In addition, Chell can now arrange travel to your site to carry out a fast and efficient calibration of your instrument with minimal disruption.


Our services do not stop there: In addition to our calibration facility, we also offer a complete repair service for most instruments which deal with gas pressure and flow. We pride ourselves on offering a service for all the equipment that we supply, as well as equipment supplied by most other manufacturers within our field. Instruments can be serviced before UKAS calibration, or if this is not necessary, a test and verification may be carried out.


Chell Instruments has also acquired Vacuum Fabrications, enabling Chell to provide complete vacuum solutions from fabrication, right through to fully instrumented and calibrated vacuum systems. With years of experience dealing with high and ultra-high vacuums, Vacuum Fabrications can provide the highest quality design, machining, welding and cleaning service. Quality, accuracy and an excellent finish are the hallmarks of a typical Vacuum Fabrications job. Efficient manufacturing methods mean that we can do this at very competitive cost. We also set aside time each day for urgent, fast turn-around of small fittings and special components-your drawings can be returned as a desperately needed component in 24 to 48 hours.

Leak Rate Monitors

We supply portable, battery powered leak rate monitors (LRM), manually operated systems built specifically for leak testing (SLM100), systems built to quantify diffusive characteristics of different membrane materials (DCS100), and systems to control the applied leakage rate and measure the resultant pressure required to obtain the expected leak rate (ILITS). Test pressure and leak rate measurement abilities can be tailored to suit different fuel cell types, membrane materials and stack sizes. Additionally, variations including remote interfacing options are available to automate the testing process.

Motor Sports Products

 

We are proud to specialise in equipment that measures and controls pressure in the motor sport and automotive industries, including on-vehicle systems such as CANdaq and wind tunnel systems which are manufactured by Chell. We have taken on a number of exciting, specialised projects for aerodynamic measurements and wind tunnel support.
