Humidity can negatively impact numerous products, environments, and equipment. Being able to effectively analyze the humidity in any location is crucial for maintaining quality and safety. Taking care of the devices that can take these measurements is equally important.
What Is A Humidity Calibrator?
A humidity calibrator is also referred to as a humidity generator, used for evaluating the performance of relative humidity sensors across a range of RH percentages. This device is vital to the success of several industries, including manufacturing and food distribution. Devices that can be calibrated with a humidity calibrator include humidity sensors, hygrometers, and probes.

- Pharmaceutical experts
- Hospital maintenance teams
Choosing The Best Humidity Calibration Equipment
ATEC carries a range of calibration equipment, including humidity calibrators. Reach out to an ATEC rental agent today for help choosing the best humidity calibration equipment for your testing requirements. We can also help you find any other rental equipment you might need. There are a number of types and factors that lead to the right calibrator choice.
Mixed-flow Generator
A mixed-flow humidity generator utilizes the split-stream method by drawing dry gas into the system and dividing it into two parts. One stream would be completely saturated with water vapor; the other stream would be mixed in until reaching the targeted humidity output. The mix-flow humidity generator is typically portable and has a faster calibration process.
Two-pressure Generator
A two-pressure humidity generator has 2 chambers: a saturator and a test chamber. The air passes through the high-pressure saturator to the low-pressure test chamber during the calibration process. Two-pressure humidity generators are commonly used for the realization of temperature and relative humidity scales for the NIS standard as well as for disseminating traceability.
What To Consider While Choosing A Humidity Calibrator
- Humidity range
- Temperature range
- Control probe accuracy
- Humidity sensor
- Humidity gradient
- Humidity equilibrium time to set-point
- Chamber volume
