Have you calibrated the hygrometer in your instrument case?
1. Calibrate every new hygrometer/humidity sensor before you use it. 2. Re-calibrate your hygrometer every six (6) months. 3. Use the Boveda Hygrometer Calibration Kit to do it right.
Hygrometers fall out of calibration—even in professional laboratory settings. So even though you’re getting a reading, it might not be accurate.
The Boveda One-Step Hygrometer Calibration Kit can be used to calibrate a hygrometer for instrument storage. It takes just 24 hours for professional-level results.
WE RECOMMEND:
- Calibrating a new hygrometer before you put it in your instrument case—even if a new digital hygrometer says it’s been pre-calibrated.
- Calibrating a hygrometer every six (6) months. (The Boveda kit is reusable by reloading it with a Size 8 75% RH Boveda.)
After proper calibration, all hygrometers have a +/-3-5%RH accuracy range.
