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

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

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.
