An apparatus used to measure the degree of humidity in the air.
- The condensation hygrometer is made up of a metallic capsule inside which ether is evaporated to drop the temperature.
- The hair hygrometer uses the stretching of the hair caused by humidity to make an approximate measurement.
- The psychrometer is based on thermodynamic properties and double measures with a dry thermometer and a humid one.
- The electronic hygrometer measures the change in the electrical properties with humidity.
Wood is notably hygroscopic, absorbent and releases humidity depending on the environment in which it is found.
