Humidity Sensor Accuracy Demystified – 4 Key Issues You Need to Know

Comparing long term performance of RH measurement instruments involves more than simply comparing the humidity sensor accuracy specifications listed on the datasheets. The Accuracy specification provides only part of the information needed to determine overall instrument performance. In some cases the Accuracy specification may not even be the most significant contributor to the overall performance creating a risk of potential unexpected out of tolerance results at the end of a calibration cycle.

Read about these contributing factors to humidity sensor accuracy and overall performance:

  • The Accuracy Specification
  • Humidity Sensor Accuracy Variations over Temperature
  • Calibration Uncertainty
  • Long Term Drift (Stability)
  • Practical Instrument Performance Comparison
