The Elcometer hygrometers are designed to determine the dewpoint and relative humidity at any given time.

During the application of a coating, the presence of moisture in the environment, or on the work surface, often results in a poor quality finish. Problems such as poor adhesion of the coating or premature corrosion of the substrate can occur. To determine the likelihood of moisture affecting the quality of the finish, it is essential that the surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity (RH) and dew point are all measured.

The Elcometer 116A Whirling Hygrometer is available in Celsius scale. A guide for Relative Humidity (RH) determination is supplied with each instrument and the dewpoint can accurately be obtained using the Elcometer 114 Dewpoint Calculator.

The Elcometer 116C Sling Hygrometer, shown as the black unit in the photograph, is a convenient, self-contained instrument with an inbuilt slide rule for the calculation of %RH and dewpoint. This hygrometer has spirit-filled thermometers and is available in ?C or ?F scales.

A guide for Relative Humidity (RH) Calculation is supplied with each instrument. The dewpoint can be accurately obtained using Elcometer 114 Dewpoint Calculator. The Elcometer 116C Bacharach Sling Hygrometer is a convenient, self-contained instrument with a built-in slide rule for the calculation of %RH and dewpoint. It has spirit-filled thermometers and is also available in ?C or ?F scales.
