A humidity monitoring device is called a hygrometer. Hygrometers may be designed for indoor or outdoor humidity monitoring use (or both). Below is a summary of the types of hygrometers available for measuring humidity. Analog hygrometers use a moisture-sensitive material that is attached to a coil spring.
Humidity can be measured in several ways, but relative humidity is the most common. In order to understand relative humidity, it is helpful to first understand absolute humidity. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor divided by the mass of dry air in a volume of air at a given temperature. The hotter the air is, the more water it can contain.
