Training Description

Humidity measurement is an important tool for predicting climate outdoors as well as controlling the climate indoors. The international equivalence of humidity measurements is vital to trade and commerce, and with ISO requirements, there are increasing demands on laboratories to demonstrate quality assurance in the measurements. Humidity standards and hygrometer instruments are used extensively in laboratories and industries, but although theseinstruments are easy and simple to operate, they are actually complex instruments.

This course explains essential concepts in temperature and humidity metrology and provides a useful framework needed to prepare the participant for higher courses in temperature and humidity metrology and avoid the common consequences of incorrect humidity measurement and/or reading.

Objectives

1. determine the measurement results and corresponding uncertainty of measurement, and
2. understand the contents of a calibration certificate.

Methodologies

A written examination will be given to evaluate the knowledge gained by the participants.

- A Proof of Attendance will be issued to all participants with at least 75% attendance upon completion of the course.

- A Certificate of Training will be awarded to participants with at least 75% attendance and passed the written examination. Passing score is 70%.
