1 Introduction

1.1 Description

The Hydromette BL Compact RH-T is a precise thermo-

hygrometer for quick measurement of relative air humidityand air

temperature. Using programmed sorption-isotherms, the weight

andmass percentages canbedetermined for various building and

insulationmaterials, as well as hardwoods and softwoods. Due to

the thin sensor tube (5.5 mm diameter), it is eminently suited to

moisture analyses, damage evaluation, dehumidifying buildings

and checking the readiness of floor and wall coatings. Additional

features includesingle-handedoperation,integratedmeasurement

probe and a 3-line LCD screen for the simultaneous displayof air

humidity, air temperature and dew point.

The Hydromette BL Compact RH-T flex T model has a flexible

sensor tube (6.5 mm diameter, swan neck) and is therefore

excellent for measurements of points that are difficult to access.
