Humidity Measurement and Calibration

Refine your knowledge of humidity measurement and calibration with the UK's leading metrology experts.

Overview

Humidity and temperature are important physical quantities. Their measurement plays a key part in industrial quality and process control, in the efficient use of energy and other resources, in condition monitoring and in health and safety. Humidity affects the thermal, electrical, optical and transport properties of gases and is important for human comfort. Organic and many non-organic materials contain water and tend towards being in equilibrium with the surroundings. Consequently, there are humidity implications in conservation, testing and manufacture.

This two-day course features classroom learning together with a tour of the NPL Humidity laboratory and laboratory-based sessions

Topics covered during this course include:

Humidity measurement techniques and instrumentation
Practical use of instruments
Calibration, traceability and measurement uncertainty
Examples of good practice
Calculations and conversions between different units related to humidity

Learning outcomes
