Probe Mounting
In humidity measurement and especially in calibration it is essential
that temperature of the probe and measuring environment is the same.
Even a small difference in temperature between the environment and
the probe causes an error. As the curve below shows, if the
temperature is +20 °C and the relative humidity 100 %RH, a
difference of ±1 °C between the environment and the probe causes an
error of ±6 %RH.
The graph below illustrates the measurement error at 100 %RH when
the difference between the ambient and sensor temperature is 1 °C.
