Humidity Generation and Measurement Using Saturated Salt Solutions

Abstract

The level of humidity required at different places varies depending upon the type of objects placed in the store. Humidity fluctuations affects the shelf lives of objects. Hence, it is necessary to maintain a particular specified level of humidity for the maintenance and preservation of the objects. There are different methods which are employed to maintain specific level of humidity ranging from expensive scientifically designed humidity generator working with the help of electricity and inexpensive methods involving usage of saturated salt solution working without any usage of electricity. The present study aims to study the ability of saturated salt solution in creating environment with different humidity level.
