Wet And Dry Bulb Hygrometer Diagram

Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities such as temperature pressure mass a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed.

Wet and dry bulb hygrometer diagram.

A hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the amount of water vapor in air in soil or in confined spaces. At lower humidity the wet bulb temperature is lower than dry bulb temperature because of evaporative cooling. At 100 relative humidity the wet bulb temperature is equal to the air temperature dry bulb temperature. Difference between the dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures.

Calibration chamber for hygrometers wet and dry air mixing type dry air constant temperature bath controlled by liquid circulator saturation tank chamber diagram of system flow controller. E mr sh ah rh or dp are known. Reading the hygrometer is not tricky but it may vary depending on the type and model you are using. The wet bulb temperature wbt is the temperature read by a thermometer covered in water soaked cloth wet bulb thermometer over which air is passed.

This type of hygrometer is equipped with two mercury thermometers where one has a wet bulb and the other has a dry bulb. When the thermometers are ventilated the wet bulb temperature will be lower than the dry bulb temperature. The temperature of the wet bulb. This temperature is directly measured by the wet bulb of a psychrometer or can be obtained indirectly by means of a psychrometric diagram or formula after the dry bulb temperature and any one hygrometric value i e.

Hygrometer courtesy of us patent and trademark office. The dry bulb temperature is an indicator of heat content and is shown along the bottom axis of the psychrometric chart or along the left side of the mollier diagram. This holmes electronic hygrometer has an easy to read dial. What makes a hygrometer work.
