Dew point accuracy

The HF7 can be configured to calculate either the dew point or frost point based on the measurement of relative humidity and temperature. The accuracy of this conversion varies, depending on the humidity and temperature conditions as shown in the graph below:

 

HF7-dew-point-accuracy

 

Example: at a temperature of 20 ˚C, a frost point value of -25 ˚C is measured with an accuracy of ± 0.5 ˚C or better.
