The Infrared Radiometer for Millimetre wavelength Astronomy (IRMA) is a compact, light weight, low cost, low maintainance water vapour monitor, with an accuracy that enables it to be used to correct the phase distortions caused by atmospheric water vapour in millimetre wavelength interferometers. The IRMA III prototype is a major improvement on earlier versions of IRMA, with an emphasis on simplicity and reliability. We present results of tests conducted on the Smithsonian Millimeter Array (SMA) telescope on Mauna Kea in February 2004. The test campaign involved using three IRMA III devices with the SMA to provide phase correction information for improving the quality of the astronomical interferometric data.
