The relative humidities maintained over saturated and unsaturated salt solutions and of some salt hydrate mixtures have been collated from the literature over a wide range of temperature. Results are presented for 38 saturated salt solutions, and details listed for salts which are recommended as suitable for humidity control. The control of humidity in the laboratory by the use of salt solutions is critically discussed.
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.
