accurite thermom/hygrom damaged by incubator heat?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

It seems that the three accurite thermom.-hygrom.s that i place in the incubators for humidity data have been DAMAGED by the heat of the bators.

 

all i can say is that, following salt testing (the usefulness of which i am beginning to question...), and comparing the humidity readings of the hygroms i place in the bators with the hygrom i keep OUTSIDE of the bator, leads me to think that they have been damaged.

 

the temperature readings are still okay, but the humidity readings have gone really wild. WHEREAS the readings from accurites that are kept at normal room temp. all the time seem more 'okay'.

 

just thought some might care to know.............

that's why all hygrometers should be calibrated before each use.. they can vary from incubation to incubation

 

 

I prefer a hygrometer which can be adjusted once it's calibrated

I can't believe it. someone replied.

 

good ole yinepu............

 

Even the salt calibration yields wild results, causing me to wonder about its usefulness. i won't go into it. my posts are already too long for most people to handle.....................
