General Tools Humidity Meters

Humidity Meters measure the moisture content in the environment by measuring relative humidity, present temperature, dew points, and other parameters. They are used in a variety of applications and come in a variety of styles.
 
Humidity meters are different from, yet similar to, hygrometers and psychrometers, which measure relative humidity. Humidity refers to the amount of moisture present. Relative humidity is the ratio of the moisture present compared to the amount of moisture needed for saturation.  Hygrometers and psychrometers both calculate relative humidity, while humidity meters measure moisture content by measuring various parameters such as temperature, dew points, and more.
 

Humidity Meter Applications

• Maintaining optimal comfort levels and good indoor air quality
• Identifying when conditions for mold growth exist
• Identifying when low humidity conditions for static electricity exist
• Measuring behind walls or in difficult to access locations
• Using air temperature and dew point temperature to indicate where condensation may occur
• Monitoring conditions in laboratories, storage areas and other controlled environment settings

Key Humidity Meter Features to Consider

• Humidity level alarms
• Remote probe allows for measurements behind walls or in difficult to access locations
• Indoor/outdoor hygro-thermometer allows you to simultaneously read the humidity and temperature, indoors and outdoors
• Optional NIST calibration certificate satisfies ISO and other regulatory body requirements for product accuracy traceability to nationally recognized reference standards
