Humidity and temperature are important physical quantities. Their measurement plays a key part in industrial quality and process control, in the efficient use of energy and other resources, in condition monitoring and in health and safety. Humidity affects the thermal, electrical, optical and transport properties of gases and is important for human comfort. Organic and many non-organic materials contain water and tend towards being in equilibrium with the surroundings. Consequently, there are humidity implications in conservation, testing and manufacture.
This two-day course features a tour of the NPL Humidity laboratory and ‘hands-on’ sessions.
Topics covered during this course include:
Humidity measurement techniques and instrumentation
Practical use of instruments
Calibration, traceability and measurement uncertainty
Examples of good practice
Calculations and conversions between different units related to humidity
Learners will receive an NPL Certificate of Attendance.
