Humidity Meters

What is Humidity?

Condensation of water vapour

Humidity is the presence of water vapour in air (water in a gaseous form) which is not visible to the human eye. Humidity measurement are used to predict condensation or frost and is used in psychrometric calculations to get a dew point, Dry Bulb Temperature or Wet Bulb Temperature, Enthalpy etc..

Humidity effects many things in our day to day lives.

The presence of humidity will effect the perceived temperature and a higher humidity does make the average person feel hotter. The Humidex was created to describe a comfort level by calculating temperature and humidity together to give a scale of  comfort.

Electronics can be effected with most electronic devices having a minimum and maximum temperature and humidity specified.  Electro mechanical devices will have extended lifespan if humidity is controlled within a specific range.

Food and pharmaceutical industry are very reliant on a controlled humidity environment. Due to higher humidity being advantageous for bacterial, mold and mildew growth.

Measurement of humidity can be perceived with a few techniques.  on the following scale:

Absolute humidity:

Is the water content in air and measured in grams per cubic meter.

Relative humidity:

Measured as a percentage 0% to 100% of the current absolute humidity relative to the highest point for a specific temperature At 100% the air would often be referred to as saturated. In essence water vapour is at equilibrium and no more evaporation would occur when water in liquid form is exposed to this air that has 100% relative Humidity. It is in this state that dew,  fog or frost is likely to form.

Specific humidity:

 The ratio of the mass of water vapour to the total mass of the moist air parcel.

How do we measure Humidity?

OEM SeEnsor Humidity and Temperature

There are various methods to measure Humidity, including wet and dry bulb Hygrometers, dew point hygrometers and humidity sensors. As a distributor of Rotronic who predominantly focus on Relative Humidity through captive sensors. These humidity sensors consist of a substrate on which a film of polymer is deposited between electrodes, which forms a capacitor. The sensor will absorb water vapour from the air and will find and equilibrium between sensor and air. The result is that the capacitance change as humidity increases or decreases.
