A resistance-humidity relationship for sensors of the Dunmore type

Conventional methods of graphical presentation of resistance-humidity characteristics for commercial sensors of the Dunmore type have some shortcomings in regard to the interpolation of experimental observations. This paper suggests a method by which calibration data can be represented by a linear relationship which is believed to simplify greatly both the construction of calibration curves and the application of these data in practice.Les m\ue9thodes conventionnelles de la pr\ue9sentation graphique des caract\ue9ristiques r\ue9sistance-humidit\ue9 pour les d\ue9tecteurs commerciaux du type Dunmore pr\ue9sentent quelques difficult\ue9s en ce qui concerne l'interpolation des observations experimentales. Cette \ue9tude sugg\ue8re une m\ue9thode gr\ue2ce \ue0 laquelle les donn\ue9es de calibrag, peuvent \ueatre repr\ue9sent\ue9es par une relation lin\ue9aire que l'on croit simplifier grandement \ue0 la fois l'\ue9tablissement des courbes de calibrage et l'application pratique de ces donn\ue9es.Peer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
