PCE-555 TEMPERATURE , HUMIDITY , WBT & DEW POINT
PCE 555
TEMPERATURE , HUMIDITY , WBT & DEW POINT = HEAT STRESS METER
This Unit has been developed to take quicker measurements of humidity and temperature. The PCE-555 hydrometer also offers a calculation of dew point and information about wet bulb globe temperature. This allows for the elimination of fungus in food storage, as well as in food transportation. It is also very useful in the construction industry in order to determine condensation in walls.
Ideal for taking measurements in situ, so long as the humidity sensor is not touched, not manipulated or not placed directly into liquid as it is a very sensitive component.
This table perfectly illustrates the relationship that exists between dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature and relative humidity.
This link shows another hydrometer, which is superior to this model, with the ability to recalibrate it with two humidity standards. Here you will find an overview of all our hydrometers

Technical specifications :
Measurement ranges 0 to 100% RH and -30 to 100°C
Resolution 0.01% RH and 0.01°C
Accuracy ±2.0% RH at 25°C ±0.5°C at 25°C
Display dual LCD with 4.5 positions
Battery 9V battery (PP3)
Dimensions 225 x 45 x 34mm
Weight 200g
With the PCE-555 hydrometer you can measure ambient conditions including humidity in the top portion of the LCD and temperature shown on the bottom.
It also calculates wet bulb temp. and dew point, which are useful for calculating thermal stress.
Dry bulb temperature is simply the environmental temperature. It's the temperature that is measured using any kind of thermometer.
Wet bulb temperature is determined by using a mercury thermometer which is situated in the shade with the bulb covered with a piece of wet fabric under a current of air, measuring, for example, a vent or a rotating electric fan. In this way, the evaporation of water absorbs heat, thereby lowering the temperature, whcih is reflected in the decrease in the temperature reading. The lower relative humidity is, the quicker the water in the fabric will evaporate and the further the resulting decrease with respect to the dry bulb temperature. (This is used to give an idea of thermal sensation)
Dew point is the temp at which air vapour turns into condensation, producing dew or mist, or if the temp. is low enough, frost.
