Until that time the measurement of moisture in gases had been more of a black art than a science.
Andrew Michell
CEO & FOUNDER
I have been an inventor all my life. Invention for me is a passion which drives my creativity. It is the source of professional satisfaction and is a crucible for new products. The measurement of moisture in gases, has been the main focus of this
passion for over 50 years. My career in this field began at Shaw Moisture Meters in the 1970s and continued when I founded Michell Instruments and developed that company into a world leader. I received many requests from all over the world to return to the specialized field of moisture measurement and to apply my skills to the development of a new range of hygrometers. I founded STORK Instruments in 2014 to respond to this new challenge. I and my team at STORK Instruments look forward to working together with our customers all over the world.

Our history
1970s
Andrew Michell’s invention of the thin film aluminum oxide capacitive sensor and the high sensitivity chilled mirror dewpoint hygrometer in the 1970s were technologies which revolutionized moisture measurement in gases.
1974
Research and development Andrew Michell’s work , which began in 1974 at Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory, that professionalized the hygrometry industry. Until that time the measurement of moisture in gases had been more of a black art than a science.
1980s
While heading Michell Instruments, a company with which he is no longer connected, he worked together with Britain’s National Physical Laboratory in the 1980s to create a national humidity standard which, for the first time in the United Kingdom, brought calibration certainty to humidity measurement, in line with already existing standards for temperature and pressure. This led to the construction of a transfer standard funded by the European Union’s Bureau of Reference in Brussels, which enabled inter-comparisons to be made between national standards laboratories all over the world.
2006
Andrew Michell sold his shares in Michell Instruments in 2006 and no longer have any personal or commercial relationship with either Shaw Moisture Meters or with Michell Instruments.
2014
I have in recent years, received many requests from all over the world to return to the specialized field of moisture measurement and to apply my skills to the development of a new range of hygrometers. STORK Instruments was founded by me in 2014 to respond to this new challenge.
2024
In December 2024 STORK Instruments moved into completely new premises giving additional space for laboratory, production and research and development needs.
