Humidity Sensor Accuracy
Apply a sensor's specified absolute percent-RH accuracy to a measured relative humidity reading; this is not a confidence interval.
Description

Humidity Sensor Accuracy: Apply a sensor's specified absolute percent-RH accuracy to a measured relative humidity reading; this is not a confidence interval.
When to use Humidity Sensor Accuracy
Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.
- Measured relative humidity (%RH)
- Required number input.
- Absolute accuracy (percentage points RH)
- Required number input.
How Humidity Sensor Accuracy works
Apply a sensor's specified absolute percent-RH accuracy to a measured relative humidity reading; this is not a confidence interval. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Lower rated bound (%RH)
- The resulting lower rated bound returned as a number.
- Upper rated bound (%RH)
- The resulting upper rated bound returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Sensor output and accuracy calculations depend on excitation, transfer function, reference conditions, loading, calibration, temperature, hysteresis, nonlinearity, bandwidth, cross-sensitivity, and long-term drift. A nominal sensitivity does not establish measurement uncertainty.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
