Understanding the core operating principles of temperature and humidity measurement ensures proper instrument selection for specific environmental conditions, avoiding drift, sensor poisoning, or catastrophic process failures.
Utilizes a dielectric polymer layer whose capacitance changes with relative humidity. Offers excellent long-term stability, wide measurement range (0-100% RH), and resistance to condensation.
Measures the electrical impedance change of a hygroscopic medium. Highly sensitive at high humidity levels but generally less accurate below 20% RH compared to capacitive types.
Resistance Temperature Detectors use platinum elements that change resistance linearly with temperature. The gold standard for precision, stability, and repeatability over wide ranges (-200°C to +600°C).
Ceramic/polymer semiconductors offering massive resistance changes for small temperature shifts. Ideal for medical, HVAC, and tight-tolerance ambient room monitoring.
