- Absolute humidity (m/v)
- Mass mixing ratio (m/m)
- Volume mixing ratio (v/v)
- Wet bulb (Tw)
- Enthalpy (h)
- Water vapor pressure (e)
- Temperature
- Pressure
OptiSonde Chilled Mirror Hygrometer - This hygrometer is the perfect analyzer of choice for laboratory and process measurements. The OptiSonde shares many of the same features as the Optica. Some features include:
- Compact and rugged design for easy installation and durability
