A Discussion on Humidity Measuring Instruments and others

Humidity Measurement

Measuring instruments are gadgets to measure different types of thing, ranging from weight to energy level, from velocity to temperature and so on. In our life, utilities of such instruments are multidimensional. Each day we come across different types of weather, and humidity plays a leading role in determining the weather condition. Humidity Measuring Instruments or Hygrometers are used to measure moisture content in the environment. Calculating and calibrating the factors like pressure, temperature, electrical or mechanical charge responsible for absorption of moisture the instrument measures the accurate humidity level.

Pressure Measurement

Pressure Measuring Instruments include Manometers and Vacuum Gauge. Manometers are limited in their usage; for measuring near atmospheric pressure. By the combined application of several vacuum gauges, high and low vacuum, one can measure pressure from 10 mbar to 10^-11 mbar. There are further many types of gauges like Hydrostatic Gauges, Piston Gauges, Liquid Column Gauges, Aneroid Gauges, McLeod Gauges, Bourdon gauges etc.

Temperature Measurement

Measuring temperature can be executed in many methods. The most common device used for measuring temperature is thermometer. There are two types of thermometers – glass thermometers and gas thermometers. A number of other Temperature Measuring Instruments include Pyrometer, Thermocouples, Resistance temperature Decoder, Langmuir Probes, and Infrared etc. To ensure perfect measurement one must ensure that the temperature of measuring instrument is equal to that of the object that is to be measured. In some conditions, heat interference can hamper a perfect temperature measurement. Behavior of wind can also have an impact on your measurement.

Sound Measuring Instruments or Sound level Meters are instruments used to measure sound pressure level. The most common usage of these meters is in measuring noise pollution. Actually, it qualifies different types of noise, be it environmental, industrial or noise produced of aircraft. It is, however, different from an experience human auditory senses perceive. A common variety of sound level meter is Noise Dosemeter, used to measure noise a person exposed into over a period of time. A frequency-weighting filter is made compulsory to use as a means of protection of workers from noise-caused deafness. A most accurate sound level meter even needs regular testing on its sensitivity which is roughly familiar as ‘calibration’.

Light Sound Measurement

Sound level impacts a lot to one’s well-being. Exposure to noise over a prolonged time may affect one’s hearing ability. So it is always best to execute sound related affairs in a measured environment. Measuring sound conditions are, however, very subtle. There should be no interference in the sound field. Light Sound Measuring Instruments like Audio System Measuring devices are made for specifying the performance of a piece of sound equipment. On the other hand, Acoustic Interferometer is a kind of instrument that is used for measuring physical characteristics like wavelength, velocity, impedance and absorption. Ultrasonic waves achieved by a vibrating crystal are radiated into the medium. The waves striking a reflector that remains parallel to that crystal helps measure the sound waves.
