Have you calibrated your instrument case hygrometer?
To precisely calibrate your hygrometer, use the Boveda One-Step Calibration Kit.
Hygrometers fall out of calibration—even in professional laboratory settings. So even though you’re getting a reading, it might not be accurate.
To precisely calibrate your hygrometer, use the Boveda One-Step Calibration Kit, which is available here. The kit can be used to calibrate a hygrometer for instrument storage.
- Always calibrate a new digital hygrometer or humidity sensor before you use it—even if it says it’s pre-calibrated.
- After proper calibration, all hygrometers have a +/-3-5%RH accuracy range.
- All hygrometers should be calibrated every six (6) months.

Instrument case still not stabilizing to 40-60% RH?
It’s your instrument case—very few are airtight. Boveda is most effective in a fixed volume space, like a quality instrument case with a good seal.
You can either:
- Add weather stripping to the inside of your case lid to improve the seal.
- Invest in a better instrument case with a tighter seal.
