DESCRIPTION

If you see Weather Monitoring Systems, they often provide temperature as well as humidity data. So, measuring humidity is an important task in many applications and Humidity Sensors help us in achieving this.

Often all humidity sensors measure relative humidity (a ratio of water content in air to maximum potential of air to hold water). Since relative humidity is dependent on temperature of air, almost all Humidity Sensors can also measure Temperature.

Applicable for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, automobiles, food processing systems, printers, and domestic appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, and laundry machines.
