Humidity 120 % ?????
    #1729634 - 07/19/03 05:04 AM (20 years, 8 months ago)

You know this friend of mine just bought an hygrometer and put it in a plastic bin to measure the RH. The resulting measurement was 120% after 2 hours of putting it inside. Is this possible ? Air is bubbled six times a day, one hour each time, through a mug containing boiled water and H2O2. No hand misting.

The relative humidity can only reach 100%.
Your hygrometer is crap, try and calibrate it:

Here is what 120% humidity means:

say that you have a 50 gallon grow device, and your perlite, water that you poured in and cakes take up 5 gallons worth. Thats 45 remaning gallons. 120% humidity means that all of the remaining space, PLUS 20%, is humidity. Each part of the terrarium has it's own mass, plus 20% more, in water. Impossible.

When it rains the humidity is over 100%

So lysergic... How would over 100% be impossible in a chamber? Please explain I'm just dying to know.

*laughs* maybe it is caused from the water being bubbled six times a day?

>When it rains the humidity is over 100%

Not necessarily.
The definition of relative humidity is based on a water vapor pressure over a flat water surface.
Under certain circumstances (in clouds), the relative humidity(based on that flat surface premise) can be a couple percents higher than 100%.

"Because relative humidity is relative to "saturation" above a flat surface, it is possible to have humidities exceeding 100%. However, because of the ubiquitous presence of condensation nuclei (e.g., dust, salt, etc.), relative humidities in the Earth's atmosphere typically do not exceed 100% at the surface or 102% within clouds."

Hey man, how did you know it is an analog hygrometer ? Does these false measures not happen with digital ones. Another thing, the hygrometer itself is supposed to be a good one, at least that?s what this MF of salesman told me, he said: It?s the best cigar analog hygrometer ever done. It cost me 30 euros= 30 $ (more or less). Did they cheat me ? Please tell me, cause if so, I?m gonna kill this MF tomorrow morning.

I didn?t really.

It does, it does.
The good thing with the analog hygrometers is that you can calibrate them easily.

If your hygrometer measures 120% RH in your terrarium, it's at least crappy calibrated. Possibly the meter itself is just crappy. Go back to the shop and get a different one. ? 30,- is worth the hassle.
