A split probe portable dew point temperature meter is a precision instrument designed to measure dew point, temperature, and humidity in environments characterized by high temperature and humidity levels. The device consists of two main components: a sensor probe and a display unit. The sensor probe, equipped with specialized sensors, is placed in the measurement environment while the display unit provides readings and controls.
The dew point is determined by cooling a mirror surface until condensation forms, at which point the temperature of the mirror is recorded as the dew point. The meter calculates relative humidity, absolute humidity, and other parameters based on the dew point and temperature measurements. These instruments often employ advanced algorithms and compensation techniques to ensure accurate readings in challenging conditions.
