    Humidity Sensor: Key Kai Wong

    Uploaded by

    Deepak sutar
    Relative humidity is a measurement of the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount that could be present at that air temperature. This presentation compares two popular humidity sensors: the Honeywell HIH series and Sensirion SHT series. The HIH series operates from -40 to 85°C, has a response time of 15 seconds, and costs $35-40 per unit. The SHT series has a faster response time of under 4 seconds, lower power consumption of 30μW, operates from 2.8-5.5V, and costs less at $18-24 per unit. The presentation concludes the SHT series is better suited for their application based on its characteristics.

    What is Relative Humidity (RH)

    Measurement - Relative humidity (RH) is the amount


    of water vapor in the air compared with the amount of
    vapor needed to make the air saturated at the air's
    current temperature

    Example:
    At 3 p.m. the air has 9 grams of water vapor per cubic
    meter of air. We divide 9 by 30 and multiply by 100 to get
    a relative humidity of 30%
    Water vapor air can hold in degrees C

    30 degrees 30 grams per cubic meter of air


    20 degrees 17 grams per cubic meter of air
    10 degrees 9 grams per cubic meter of air

    .
