Any instrument for measuring the humidity, or water vapour content, of a gas (usually air). A wet and dry bulb hygrometer consists of two vertical thermometers, with one of the bulbs covered in absorbent cloth dipped into water. As the water evaporates, the bulb cools, producing a temperature difference between the two thermometers. The amount of evaporation, and hence cooling of the wet bulb, depends on the relative humidity of the air.

∙ 12y agoA hygrometer is used for measuring the humidity of the air surrounding the device. There is a small coil in the hygrometer, with a salt-impregnated paper strip adhered to it. When the paper absorbs the moisture, it changes shape on the metal coil, causing it to uncoil a little bit. This is enough to display a reading on the dial on the front face of the hygrometer.
