For determining the humidity present in the atmosphere, a wide variety of measuring methods are available. The selection of the most appropriate one is usually made by the person in charge of the operation taking into account the objective of the measurement and the location where it has to take place. For this purpose installing a moisture meter in the right place/right manner (meeting the necessary project requirements) may allow to obtain highly accurate data.
