| The
word "hygrometer" is a generic term that simply
means any instrument that measures the humidity of air. Hygrometers
can have many levels of quality, functionality, and accuracy,
ranging from a child's science experiment to a $20,000 primary
standards lab humidity chamber.
Types of hygrometers include psychrometers,
sling psychrometers, and hygrothermographs. Other common terms
that have a similar meaning include humidity indicator, humidity
meter, humidity recorder, and humidity sensor.
A "recording hygrometer" is an instrument
that not only measures humidity, but also records that data
as a permanent record. Typically, they are either mechanical
devices like chart recorders and hygrothermographs, or electronic
and digital versions such as data loggers.
The recording hygrometer is a completely
self-contained recording hygrometer that measures and logs
readings to its internal memory. A high precision instrument,
the SP-2000 leads the industry with an accuracy rating of
+/- 2% relative humidity. In addition, the 10-year battery
life and compact size makes the device more portable and easy
to use than other types of recording hygrometers such as chart
recorders and hygrothermographs.
Benefits of the recording hygrometer:
* No paper charts or pens to purchase or
change.
* Accurate (± 0.2°C, ± 2%RH).
* Two remote temperature/humidity sensors.
* Stores 10 months of data for each probe.
* PC download program included.
* Back-up battery protects your data.
* Installs in minutes.
* Low Cost!
* Password protection of settings.
The Hygrometer provides constant temperature/humidity
monitoring without paper, pens or maintenance, storing a record
of the environmental conditions in its memory while displaying
a temperature/RH history on its large LCD panel.
The problems inherent in older mechanical
hygrometers are eliminated. There are no moving parts and
it needs no maintenance.
