SIT CENTRE No. 124
Metrological laboratory

RELATIVE HUMIDITY MEASUREMENTS

Instruments to be calibrated by Sit Centre no.124:

  • electrical hygrometers and thermohygrometers (*)

  • thermohygrometers transmitters (*)

  • mechanical hygrographs and thermohygrographs (*)

  • electric psychrometers
    (*) (measuring range from 10% RH to 92% RH at air temperature from 0°C to 60°C)

  • saturated salt solutions
    (measuring range from 10% RH to 90% RH at the air temperature of 23°C)

  • Condensing mirror hygrometers
    (measuring range from -20°C to 60°C)

The SIT certificate has to be requested at the time of placing the order, otherwise it's necessary to send the instrument back to the Centre for certification.

On request, and only if necessary details are available, the instrument setting can be carried out before certification; the relevant charge has to be previously stated.

At the time of placing the order it's necessary to specify the kind of Isotherm requested.

Minimum points, for the requested Isotherm, are those suggested by the Primary Institute.

Certification will be according to the available equipment.

All the instruments of other manufacturers sent for certification have to be provided with their instructions manual.
