Humidity Sensor
Measuring humidity levels is essential for various industries and applications. A humidity sensor is an electronic device used for this purpose, providing accurate and reliable data on the moisture content in the environment.
Which equipment is used for moisture testing?
- Capacitive Humidity Sensor: Utilizes a capacitor to detect changes in capacitance caused by moisture absorption.
- Resistive Humidity Sensor: Detects changes in resistance between two electrodes coated with a moisture-absorbing material.
- Thermal Conductivity Humidity Sensor: Measures the thermal conductivity of air, which is affected by moisture content.
- Infrared Humidity Sensor: Detects the absorption of infrared radiation by water vapor molecules.
- Gravimetric Humidity Sensor: Measures the weight change of a moisture-absorbing material, such as a polymer or ceramic, to determine moisture content.
Selecting the appropriate humidity sensor depends on factors such as accuracy, sensitivity, response time, temperature range, and application requirements.
