What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
What are two parts of psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
What thermometer has a wet and dry bulb?
psychrometer
What type of hygrometer is a wet- and dry-bulb?
Psychrometer
One type of hygrometer is a wet- and dry-bulb?
psychrometer :)
What is a Psychrometer's?
A psychrometer is a simple form of hygrometer, an instrument which measures relative humidity. The psychrometer compares the dry-bulb and wet-bulb air temperatures.The "whirling psychrometer" is an instrument for the measurement of the temperature and humidity of the air. It contains two Mercury-in-glass thermometers with a scale of minus 5 to plus 50 degrees Celsius, in 0.5 degree increments. One is an ordinary dry bulb thermometer and the other wet bulb thermometer whose bulb is surrounded by a piece of thin muslin, kept moist with distilled water.
What step should you follow to measure humidity with a psychrometer?
A sling psychrometer (or hygrometer) uses the difference in readings between a wet bulb thermometer and another with a dry bulb to measure the relative humidity. The bulb that is wet will cool by evaporation to the "dew point", which is the temperature at which the current humidity would be the maximum possible. Comparing that to the dry bulb (the general air temperature) on a comparative chart will yield the approximate relative humidity.
What is a dew point moisture meter?
There are two types - the wet-bulb sling psychrometer and the dry-bulb psychrometer. Look up the definitions of these instruments for more details.
What is the purpose of the psychrometer?
The purpose of the psychrometer is to estimate Relative Humidity of Air. It does it by getting the dry and wet bulb temperatures. Then Relative Humidity is read on a chart.
What can you assume about the amount of water vapor in the air if there is no difference between the wet bulb and dry bulb readings of a psychrometer?
It is saturated.
What is wet bulb and dry bulb thermometer?
It is used to ready humidity levels. You compare the readings off the wet and dry bulb, then find the humidity on the chart (see Sling Psychrometer).
Formula to work out humidity?
Relative Humidity can be measured with a psychrometer. A psychrometer has two thermometers, a wet-bulb and dry-bulb. The wet-bulb has a wet cloth on one end. If the wet-bulb is colder than the dry-bulb, than you apply the information to a psychrometer chart, which tells you the relative humidity, from which you can determine "high" or "low". http://andrewslog.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/48d16354-752c-4965-9c43-024073c31186.jpg
