MOST ACCURATE HYGROMETER?

[Scratchn By]

Ok! I stuck my two cheapos in a double zip lock with one half cup of moist salt. It didn't say a thing about not doing this test in the manual. These two gems usually read all sorts of different. Inside/outside temps different and RH on each different. Sometimes drastically...

But, now that they've been in the bag all day the temps are all the same (within a tenth or two) and the RH on both is about 71%. Is that accurate? Can I just take them out and assume that I add 4 degrees and a tenth or two?

Make sure I got this on temp...

Mold an egg out of clay and put it in the bator. Let it's temp stabilize the same as the bator's and then shove an oral, non digital, thermometer into it to get a reading. Compare that reading to my digital junk and take into count the error during hatching.

If not, break it down Barney style.

I think maybe the bator folks are in cahoots with the thermo/hygro folks and all this confusion is part of their evil scheme.

Thanks!

Quite right, wet bulb thermometers work well, but keeping the wicks clean, and understanding what it is telling you will prove tricky for a lot of folk around here

Yep very true, I find that using distilled water helps a whole lot in the wick condition.
I also have a guide on my website for what you want for a reading on your wetbulb thermometer for the various days for anyone who wants to know what to look for
