I have an R-Com 20 Incubator and I am struggling to get a handle on humidity. I have two hygrometer's and I have used the salt test to check the calibration on one. They read exactly the same right now in the incubator. Both are close on temp compared to my mercury thermometers as well. When I performed the salt test the hygrometer got to 68% which would be 7% lower than the 75% humidity the environment in the bag should be. With that said if the salt test method works then the hygrometers are reading 7% low. My problem is that the R-Com can only be calibrated +/- 20% for humidity. The hygrometer's are reading 45% and the closest I can calibrate the incubator is to read 30% so that's a 15% difference and that's not taking into account the 7% the hygrometer's are off. I have reset the incubator and tried everything I know to do but I'm stuck. I am thinking of trying to obtain the humidity bags I saw on another post to re-check calibration of the hygrometer's. I have some eggs coming in the next couple day's so I need to get this thing right and soon. If anyone has any experience with this or advice I would appreciate it.
Thanks
