    Insert the sword-sensor into the stack for only approx. 10 cm, and push it a few more centimetres into the stack every 10 seconds. Let your RH5 adequately adjust to the material (at least 5 minutes) before you start to measure, particularly when the material pile was stored at a different temperature than the device.
  • Page 3: Application Range

    Description of definitions Relative air humidity: indicates the relation between the current water vapour pressure and the maximal possible water vapour pressure (called saturation vapour pressure) The relative humidity shows the degree the air is saturated with water vapour. For example: 50% relative humidity indicates that at the current temperature and the current pressure the air is saturated with water vapour for half of its value, 100% relative humidity means that the air is totally saturated.
