Humidity Sensors
Humidity sensors are also known as hygrometers. Humidity sensors measure the amount of water vapour in the air.
Water vapour
- Humidity sensors are used to compare the amount of water vapour in the air to the maximum amount it can hold at a specific temperature.
- Humidity sensors are crucial in various applications including:
- Weather monitoring.
- Indoor climate control.
- Agriculture.
- Industrial processes.
Applications
- Examples of humidity sensor applications include:
- Museums and art conservation.
- Food storage.
- Medical devices.
- Automotive defogging.
