With a reliable hygrometer, you will have the ability to check the moisture content in the air so you will know if your indoor humidity levels are safe and maintained.
Maintaining the correct temperature and humidity helps to keep products from spoiling. Products can spoil for a number of reasons, including:
Condensation
Bacteria and germ growth
Mold
Electrostatic discharge
Corrosion
Warping
To prevent these problems, industries with products at risk of spoilage install instruments to measure humidity and temperature continuously through the manufacturing process and also while products are stored.
Instruments that measure humidity include but are not limited to:
RH (relative humidity) probes, meters and transmitters
RH monitors and wall-mounted transmitters
Humidity data loggers
Digital thermometer hygrometer
Psychrometers (wet/dry bulb)
Metal-paper coil hygrometers
Hair tension hygrometers
Why Calibrate Humidity?
It is important to calibrate humidity instruments regularly, to make sure they are performing within their manufacturers’ specifications. Calibration lets you know that measurements made with these instruments are accurate so that quality can be maintained.
