The detailed experimental investigation of the performance of a commercially available smart humidity sensor used for the measurement of relative humidity at elevated pressures (0.1–2 MPa) is reported. A dedicated set-up was developed for generating defined humidities in pressurized air. The measurements reveal that the pressure coefficient of the sensor deviation at a given relative humidity condition cannot be attributed solely to the enhancement factor of the humid air. For such microsensors, an additional sensor-specific pressure compensation factor was determined which is significant for precise measurements in applications with pressurized air.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
