An absorption psychrometer is a device used to measure the moisture content in the air, specifically the humidity. It consists of two thermometers: one with a dry bulb to measure air temperature and another with a wet bulb, which is moistened and affected by evaporation. The difference in temperature readings between the two thermometers is used to calculate relative humidity. This instrument is commonly used in meteorology, agriculture, and HVAC systems to monitor environmental conditions.
To use a psychrometer, follow these steps: Wet the wick or sling of the psychrometer with distilled water. Swing the psychrometer in the air for a few minutes to allow evaporation to take place. Read the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures from the psychrometer. Use these readings to calculate the relative humidity using a psychrometric chart or formula.
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.

There is no difference, a psychrometer is a type of hygrometer.
An antonym for a psychrometer could be a hygrometer, which measures relative humidity without the use of a wet bulb thermometer.

The sling psychrometer was invented in 1887 by Adolph Richard Assmann, a German meteorologist. It is a simple instrument used to measure the relative humidity of the air.

It measures the humidity.
A sling psychrometer (which is a hygrometer) measures the moisture content of the atmosphere surrounding it. It is called a sling psychrometer because it is whirled around in the air until a constant value/reading is obtained from the wet-bulb thermometer.
The unit for a sling psychrometer is degrees Celsius (°C) for measuring air temperature and percentage (%) for measuring relative humidity.
