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.

Sketch wet and dry bulb hygrometer.

The temperature of the wet bulb. Get it thu sep 24 tue sep 29. 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. Wet dry bulb hygrometer wall mounted thermometers eisco labs.

There are several different ways that this can be done. 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 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. Always water is used in hygrometers.

The difference between the wet and dry bulb temperature enables the rh to be determined through the use of the table and calculate. 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. 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. Subtracting the wet bulb reading from the dry bulb reading yeilds the wet bulb depression.

Reading the hygrometer is not tricky but it may vary depending on the type and model you are using. Wet bulb depression the difference between the first and second temperatures. Relative humidity is determined by the difference of the temperatures of dry bulb thermometer and wet bulb thermometer. 4 0 out of 5 stars 1.

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. For instance a wet and dry bulb requires the following numbers. 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. Such an instrument is called a wet bulb thermometer.

Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature pressure mass a mechanical or electrical change in a substance. This type of hygrometer uses two basic mercury thermometers one with a wet bulb one with a dry bulb.
