Engineers now have two multifunctional transmitters at their fingertips for measuring relative humidity and temperature. The HT737 is a digital unit that measures relative humidity, temperature, dew ...

Summer is here, and heat and humidity have arrived.

That is because the dew point is a measure of how much water vapor is in the air and relative humidity is a measure of how much water vapor is in the air relative to how much water vapor could be in ...

Air pollution is not taken into consideration. Actually, relative humidity is not directly measured. The air temperature and dew point temperature are measured, and the relative humidity is then ...

An AC bridge circuit can be used to measure the unknown capacitance of a sensor, such as a relative humidity (RH) sensor. Some RH sensors have a transfer function of capacitance vs %RH. Usually the ...

Dew point can be calculated using the air temperature and a relative humidity value, which is measured using something called a sling psychrometer. A psychrometer is a metal rod, around 6 inches long, ...

I comment from time to time on how the dew point temperature can be a good guide as to what the coming overnight low temperature might be. A reader wonders if there is such a relationship for relative ...

An e-mail from Herman asks about an instrument using thermometers to determine humidity and wants to know what it is. It's called a sling psychrometer and consists of two thermometers fastened onto a ...

Temperatures are skyrocketing for the third straight day across the Eastern US, but there’s at least three different ways to ...

Relative humidity has been used to describe moisture levels in the atmosphere for so long that it has become the most common (though often misunderstood) moisture measurement. And there is truth to ...

Some sensors output a processed analog signal that is linear with respect to the physical quantity being measured. Some perform quantization as well and provide a digital output. Though it is easy to ...
