What measurement parameters are important in industry?<\/h4><\/div>\n\n

In industry, it is essential to know which measurement parameters are important, as these can have serious effects on product quality and production efficiency, as well as on the efficiency and reliability of operations. There are many cases in which it is necessary to monitor humidity, temperature, particulate matter, and pressure, for example. <\/p>\n\n

Specifically, in many industrial processes, humidity plays a bigger role than it seems. <\/p>\n\n

Relative humidity (%RH) is the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air (absolute humidity) to the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature (absolute saturation humidity). To understand this, nothing beats an example. If relative humidity exceeds 100% (meaning it exceeds the absolute saturation humidity), water vapor condenses and forms water droplets (it is no longer moisture\u2014it is water). <\/p>Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez<\/a>, Area Director at Grupo \u00c1lava<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

To measure humidity in the environment, it is necessary to select the most appropriate measuring instruments, which <\/a>must be calibrated regularly and in accordance with traceable standards.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

What are the applications of humidity measurement in industry?<\/h4><\/div>\n\n

Humidity is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present to the amount that could be present at a given temperature. Problems in production facilities\u2014such as expansion and contraction, hardening and softening of materials, changes in liquid viscosity, microbial growth, increased static electricity, and corrosion and rust\u2014are greatly affected by humidity. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best-known applications is in the pharmaceutical industry<\/a>, specifically in what are known as \u201ccleanrooms\u201d or \u201cwhite rooms.\u201d A cleanroom<\/a> is a room specifically designed to control contamination. Cleanrooms are used in virtually every industry where small particles can negatively affect the manufacturing process and the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

For manufacturing processes in cleanrooms, pharmaceutical companies use state-of-the-art technology and adhere to very rigorous quality controls,in<\/em> accordancewith<\/em> <\/strong>Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Another highly regulated sector is the agri-food industry<\/a>. In food processing plants, it is necessary to maintain the production area at or below a certain humidity level. This helps limit the growth of germs and bacteria that can cause food poisoning. <\/p>\n\n

It is applicable to liquid crystal plants and paint plants. Similarly, it applies to semiconductor and electronics plants, where product development cycles are becoming increasingly rapid and, as a result, humidity control in the manufacturing process has become more stringent. <\/p>\n\n
