Description
Summary:Psychrometric method is widely used to measure the air relative humidity in dryness processing of agricultural products. The experiments about the relationships of the wind velocity v, temperature t and relative humidity U were made in temperature-humidity controlling cabin. The results indicate that the dowm limit of v is 0.2 m·s<sup>-1</sup> and has no influence on the measurement accuracy, regarding v as 2.5 m· s<sup>-1</sup> when v&gt;2.5 m·s<sup>-1</sup>. The results also show that psychrometer constant A is hardly effected by the temperature when t&lt;40℃, and it is proportional to t<sup>2/3</sup> within 40℃&lt;t&lt;70℃; The relationship of A and t becomes complication when t&gt;80℃. A formula about A is proposed within 40℃&lt;t&lt;70℃, and it is demonstrated that the error of the relative humidity calculated by this formula is less than 1.5% R. H, when 0.2&lt;v&lt; 4 m·s<sup>-1</sup>,40℃&lt;t&lt;70℃ and 30% &lt;U&lt;90% R. H.
