This is very important thing for the pharmaceuticals also any other organization, so need to know difference between this..
"Humidity" and "Relative Humidity" are not
the same thing. Humidity means amount of
water vapor present in air with respect to total amount of air. Relative Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air
'relative' to the temperature (i.e. relative
humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to what the air can
"hold" at that temperature. When the air can't "hold" all
the moisture, then it condenses as dew).
The relative humidity is
a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air (at a specific temperature)
compared to the maximum amount of water vapor air could hold at that
temperature, and is given as a percentage value. Relative humidity depends on
the temperature of the air.
Informative article... Thanks for sharing. Just found this blog while reaserching about Hygrometers and dehumidifiers.. humidity and relative humidity both measures the amount of water present in the air but both of these have difference in the method of measurement.
