The whirling hygrometer consists of two thermometers mounted on the same frame that can be whirled in the air by hand. The bulb of one thermometer is covered with a tight-fitting muslin sack and wetted with water. This thermometer is known as the wet-bulb thermometer. The other is the dry-bulb thermometer. The psychrometer is whirled to force air past the bulbs. The dry bulb indicates the temperature of the air. The wet bulb helps determine the relative humidity.

In air that has less than 100 per cent relative humidity, the wet bulb will record a lower temperature than the dry bulb. This difference in temperature is known as wet-bulb depression. A special chart is used to convert the wet-bulb depression to relative humidity or the relative humidity can be determined by correlating the readings with those on a simple slide rule, which is supplied with each instrument.

A guide for Relative Humidity (RH) determination is supplied with each instrument and the dewpoint can accurately be calculated using the Elcometer 114 Dewpoint Calculator.

FAQs of Whirling Hygrometer:

Q: How does the Whirling Hygrometer measure humidity and temperature?

A: The hygrometer uses the principle of evaporative cooling by manually whirling two thermometersa dry-bulb and a wet-bulbthrough the air. The temperature difference between the two provides an accurate reading of relative humidity and ambient temperature.

Q: What is the process for using the Whirling Hygrometer?

A: To use, moisten the cotton sleeve over the wet-bulb thermometer, then whirl the instrument by hand at a steady pace for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Observe and record the temperatures on both thermometers and refer to the provided chart to determine humidity levels.

Q: When should I replace the wet bulb wick or cotton sleeve?

A: Replace the cotton wick or sleeve whenever signs of wear, drying out, or residual buildup are noticed, or when the readings appear inconsistent. Extra replacement sleeves are included with the hygrometer for your convenience.

Q: Where can the Whirling Hygrometer be used effectively?

A: It is suitable for diverse applications, including laboratories, meteorological fieldwork, HVAC maintenance, greenhouse monitoring, and educational purposes. Its manual, portable design allows use virtually anywhere, even in locations without electricity.

Q: What benefit does the manual operation provide over electronic models?

A: Manual operation ensures reliability in remote or power-restricted environments, eliminates battery dependency, and offers straightforward, robust performance with minimal maintenance requirements.

Q: How should I clean and maintain the Whirling Hygrometer?

A: Wipe the exterior gently with a damp cloth and clean the thermometers carefully. The cotton wick on the wet-bulb should be replaced as required, ensuring accuracy and device longevity.
