Meteorological instrument center japan meteorological agency 1 1 sorption method changes of the dimensions changes of electrical properties 1 2 psychrometric method difference between the dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures related to the ambient humidity. A widely used device for measuring wet and dry bulb temperature is a sling psychrometer which consists of a pair of mercury bulb thermometers one with a wet sock to measure. There are several different ways that this can be done. Only 9 left in stock order soon.

Subtracting the wet bulb reading from the dry bulb reading yeilds the wet bulb depression. Always water is used in hygrometers. When the thermometers are ventilated the wet bulb temperature will be lower than the dry bulb temperature. Such an instrument is called a wet bulb thermometer.

The oldest and the most common is to use a dry bulb and a wet bulb thermometer this is what is known as a psychrometer. Reading the hygrometer is not tricky but it may vary depending on the type and model you are using. Wet bulb temperature is measured using a thermometer that has its bulb wrapped in cloth called a sock that is kept wet with distilled water via wicking action. Masons hygrometer wet dry bulb c f simple form of psychrometer to provide easy way to measure the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere on a percentage scale known as relative humidity rh.

When we use alcohol in wet bulb temperature drops very rapidly and gives more difference between dry and wet bulbs because water evaporates more rapidly from the wet bulb s surface than water giving more cooling effect. A hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the amount of humidity and water vapour in the atmosphere in soil or in confined spaces. Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature pressure mass a mechanical or electrical change in a substance. For instance a wet and dry bulb requires the following numbers.

The difference between the wet and dry bulb temperature enables the rh to be determined through the use of the table and calculate. Evaporation from the water on the wet bulb causes its temperature reading to drop causing it to show a lower temperature than the dry bulb. A hygrometer is a device that is used to measure the moisture content of the air basically this means the relative humidity and the dew point. Housed in a yellow plastic case with lid and bulb protection these red spirit hygrometers are available in two ranges.
