In a national effort to help the industrial community cope with humidity problems, Vaisala is offering 20 Humidity Measurement Seminars in eleven cities around the USA during 2008. This will be the fourth year that Vaisala has offered the seminars and attendance continues to increase each year.

Humidity is one of the more difficult measurements to make and has been known to cause problems across many varied industries. The first step towards dealing with and compensating for the problems caused by humidity is to understand the properties and definitions so that a proper, reliable, and repeatable measurement can be obtained. Vaisala’s seminar is designed to be educational in nature and covers topics such as humidity definitions and theory, psychrometrics, calibration, good measurement practice, and specific training on the use of the Vaisala HUMICAP technology. Past attendees report that one of the best aspects of the course is the real life application examples and information provided by the Vaisala Engineers who teach the classes.

“The seminars have been exceedingly popular throughout the HVAC and industrial communities and many of the participants are able to take the knowledge back to their workplace and make immediate improvements based on a much better understanding of this elusive and troublesome parameter, humidity,” said Bruce McDuffee, National Humidity Instructor for Vaisala. The seminar is a one day course and there is no charge to attend, but seating is limited, reveals the company’s press release.
