What's the best way to capture accurate humidity data?

In many parts of the globe, humidity is a issue throughout much of the year – and this is especially the case in Australia. The coastal and northern reaches of this country can see serious levels of water vapour – something which can pose a real problem.

From food production to healthcare, excess humidity can mean spoiled products, damage to equipment and even health issues.

That’s why accurate humidity measuring instruments are important – to give technicians the data they need.

Capable humidity measuring instruments

Taking accurate humidity readings is one of the keys to maintaining healthy environments, but what instruments are available to tackle the task?

Here are several devices from the testo range.

testo 174H

A tiny unit, this is an ideal device for people wanting to save space while still being able to accurately monitor temperature and humidity. Use is as simple as pressing the large button on the front, and the unit will then begin logging data for up to an entire year.

A wall bracket makes it easy to attach the unit to a wall, and software means managing the information is easy after it’s been logged.

testo 174H Set

A two-channel temperature and humidity logger, the 174H Set is also inexpensive. This makes it an excellent solution for use in multiple rooms within a building.

This unit also features a wall bracket for easy setup and a USB interface for programming and reading the information.

A wireless offering

In many cases, it’s not possible to easily access humidity data on location. The solution? A wireless humidity logging and monitoring system like Saveris 2. As it’s cloud-based, any data gathered is logged on an online server, where it’s then possible to access and download from a computer.

This wireless functionality also means the unit can send an SMS or e-mail if humidity or temperature levels exceed what’s safe or acceptable.

Humidity: The right instruments for a diverse range of applications

Of course, managing humidity requires more than just measurement. Whether in the aforementioned food or healthcare sectors, hydrometers, material moisture meters, humidity data loggers and climate meters can all prove essential tools.
