  • Page 23: Appendix D Recommended Practices In Humidity Measurements

    • Follow Michell Instruments’ care instructions for the instrument. Some instruments need routine cleaning or other maintenance. before using any solvent cleaner, check with Michell Instruments that this will not harm the sensor or other materials of construction. • Wherever possible, ensure that hygrometers are calibrated under the conditions of use, i.e.
  • Page 24 PC33 & 52 User’s Manual appendix d • Cleanliness of the environment will affect different hygrometers in different ways. Dust and airborne droplets should be avoided or filtered out if possible. Contaminants can come from the most surprising sources, ordinary urban pollution, for example.
  • Page 25 PC33 & 52 User’s Manual appendix d dew point in general • The measuring environment and all parts of the sampling pathway must be kept above the dew point if condensation is to be avoided. Electrical trace heating or other heating methods should be used if necessary. An excess temperature of 10°C above the dew point is usually a safe margin.
  • Page 26 PC33 & 52 User’s Manual appendix d • Clean environments are always best for humidity measurements, but this is especially critical at very low humidity. Even fingerprints harbour water. High purity cleaning agents are recommended: Analytical Reagent (AR) quality solvents for oil-based contaminants, and purified water (distilled or de-ionised) for salts.
