What are good sources for the construction of hair hygrometers?

Post by Veasnu »

Some factors such as weight, solidity, longevity, corrosion resistance, thermal resistance, humidity resistance can affect the efficacity of hair hygrometers and vary the relative humidity of the instrument. I was wondering where i could find the best material to build a hair hygrometer depending on such factors and the cost of the material as well.

Hello Veasnu,

Check out this Science Buddies project:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ge#summary

In particular, look towards the end of the background section, including the references, and then the Materials section.

Let us know if this helps and be sure to post again if you have more questions.
