Low-cost temperature and relative humidity measurement

PCE Instruments, with headquarters in Germany and offices in Chile, France, Spain, Italy, China, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Turkey, Poland, the UK and the US, manufactures and sells test instruments, control systems, laboratory and weighing equipment for a vast range of different purposes and applications, to a great extent under the label "PCE Instruments®", but also from other renowned producers.

The company does not only offer very complex and costly devices but also simpler ones which can be obtained for little money. One of the many examples of a low-cost test instrument is the PCE-TH 5 thermo hygrometer.

A thermo hygrometer is a 2-in-1 instrument to determine the air temperature and air humidity, i. e. the relative humidity. There are numerous applications for which these meters can be used. Temperature and relative humidity meters are often used in different industry sectors, in gardening, in the food sector, in food transport and many more areas. Personnel working at wind power plants likes to use thermo hygrometers like the PCE-TH 5 to measure the ambient temperature and relative humidity in the cabins.

The PCE-TH 5 is a compact portable device which is perfectly suitable for on-site measurements. It has lots of advantages such as its quick response time, high precision and simultaneous indication of temperature and humidity measurement values. In addition to temperature and humidity measurement, the PCE-TH 5 can calculate the dew point and wet bulb temperature. The Data Hold function enables the user to freeze the reading in the display. The user can also view the minimum, maximum and average values of the measurements in the easily readable display. It has an Auto Power Off function to save energy, which means that it powers off automatically when no key has been pressed for at least 15 minutes. The advantage of a long battery life is enhanced even more due to this function.

The customer does not need to make a huge investment and still enjoys all the benefits of a high-quality temperature and humidity meter. Even private customers with literally no experience in measurement technology take advantage of this small any easy-to-use tool.

The temperature and relative humidity meter comes with a CR2032 lithium battery and an instruction manual, i. e. all accessories needed for measurement are included in the standard package
