    Psychrometer construction for performance testing in temperature and humidity chambers, and the precision of humidity measurements -Meeting the challenge of quality engineering-

    Abstract
    When measuring the performance of the temperature and humidity chamber, industrial standards have adopted the psychrometer (performance testing psychrometer) as the standard humidity sensor. However, the standards do not discuss the construction of the psychrometer itself, prescribing only the psychrometer equation and the psychrometer coefficient to be used. Due to the improvement of humidity measurement technology and the development of traceability systems in recent years, we have again taken up the challenge of verifying psychrometer construction and humidity measurement precision. This report will also introduce quality engineering methods that we have applied experimentally, as well as the methods we have used.

    Humidity measurement and psychrometers in environmental testing equipment

    Abstract
    The use of psychrometers to measure humidity in environmental testing equipment is practically universal. No other thermometers are available that can stand up as well to the severe usage conditions of environmental testing equipment. While some features need to be improved, the construction of the psychrometers is simpler and more reliable than any other type of humidity sensor. Because of this, we discuss features of psychrometers such as construction, working principles, precision, factors of error, reliability, and points for caution in use. We also mention various related standards. Finally, we also examine functions required for humidity measurement in environmental equipment and future trends.
