Psychrometer
Product Code : SCL-PLE-10543
The Psychrometer is a humidity-measuring instrument that determines relative humidity by comparing dry-bulb and wet-bulb thermometer readings, widely used in school science labs, geography rooms, and environmental science departments.
Quick Answer: A Psychrometer measures relative humidity by comparing the temperature readings of a dry-bulb thermometer and a wet-bulb thermometer — the greater the difference (caused by evaporative cooling at the wet bulb), the lower the relative humidity.

Psychrometer Readings in a Complete Weather-Monitoring Setup
Humidity readings become more useful for teaching purposes when combined with other environmental measurements. Many institutions pair the Psychrometer with a Combined Soil Meter (pH, Moisture, Lux) for a broader environmental-science module covering both atmospheric and soil conditions. Confirm scale range and thermometer type with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Psychrometer calculate relative humidity?
It compares the temperature difference between a dry-bulb thermometer and a wet-bulb thermometer (cooled by evaporation); a humidity conversion chart or slide rule is used to convert the difference into a relative humidity percentage.
What type of Psychrometer is this — sling or stationary?
Configuration (sling-type or fixed/wall-mounted) varies by model — check the specific product listing for the exact type.
Is a humidity conversion chart included?
Confirm inclusion of a conversion chart or slide-rule calculator with Lab Glassware Manufacturer, as kit contents can vary by model.
