Page 28: Application Notes
9 Application Notes 9.1 General Notes on Humidity / Air Temperature Measurement Humidity, also known as air humidity, is the water vapour content of the air. Like any other substance, air only has a limited capacity to absorb water. This limit is known as the saturation limit. Above the saturation point, the excess water content accumulates in the form of very fine water droplets (condensate). -
