The only problem I saw with that one was the 95% RH max....otherwise, it's a nice one.

I got my Taylor wet bulb via UPS today.  The RH in my house after the storms is 72% :wink:

yeah it max's at 95% but all I do is casing in the Fc that Im monitering I dont need more than that.
Plus 95% is still ok for fruiting cakes.

You bet! Keep me posted on how it preforms if you would...I am interested.

Are you going to test it with the salt method to calibrate it?

The salt method:

Take a small cup and put about 1/4 cup of salt in it. MOISTEN the salt and stir it. You want wet salt, not salt water. Seal that cup and your hygrometer in an air-tight vessel. Leave it there over night and the hygrometer should read exactly 75% RH. If not, you have to factor the difference in to your calculations.

I was reading up on it and it looks like the maximum humidity moist salt can create is 75% and I would use somthing smaller than a shoe box, zip lock baggie is what the tek calls for.

I does not matter the size of the container.....well It may take longer with a larger container.

Exactly 75%, and that is the reason it works.
