Is It Humid in Here? Don’t Risk Ruining Your Products or Artifacts

Posted by on in Environmental Monitoring

Measuring humidity is essential in manufacturing plants, laboratories, museums, libraries, art galleries, and more. Too much moisture in the air—or too little—can influence the quality of products or the preservation of valuable materials. In production environments, particularly electronics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and breweries, as well as in storage units and chemical laboratories, high humidity can produce defects and low humidity can dry products out.b2ap3_thumbnail_HumidityImage.gif

Because of the importance of measuring humidity, several types of instruments are available to perform this task and/or record measurements:

  • Thermohygrometers
  • Hygrothermographs
  • Humidity data loggers
  • Humidity indicators
  • Dew Point Meters
  • Humidity Recorders
  • Psychrometers
  • Heat stress monitors
  • Humidity Transmitters

Each of these instruments requires calibration to maintain accuracy. If readings slip even a few points, the level of humidity may exceed recommended levels and affect the items you wish to protect and preserve.

Make sure your parameters are controlled with regular calibration to ensure accuracy. For a list of recommended relative humidity percentages in production and process environments, check the Engineering ToolBox.

InnoCal maintains several humidity chambers with chilled mirror sensors capable of generating and measuring between 5% to 95% relative humidity (% RH) and dew points down to -40°C. We can also bring our chilled mirror sensors to your location for on-site calibrations. Whether you have one asset or hundreds, large equipment or small, InnoCal can supply NIST-traceable calibrations on your humidity equipment.
