36、 system, traceable to international standards (see IS0 10012-1 and IS0 10012-2). 4.3 Humidity measurement system The measurement system should have a calibration at the test conditions, traceable to international standards (see IS0 10012-1 and IS0 10012-2) and the overall measurement uncertainty sho

Some examples of humidity measurement systems include, but are not limited to, those listed below. 4.3.1 This method (see IS0 4677-1) uses the cooling effect of water evaporation from a wet sock. The temperature of t

40、 Page 8 EN 60068-3-62002 4.4 Installation of sensors 4.4.1 Temperature sensors Normally sensors should be either the resistance type (in accordance with IEC 60751) or the thermocouple type (in accordance with IEC 60584-1). The 50 % response time in air of the sensor shall be between 10 s and 40 s. T

41、he response time of the overall system should be less than 40 s. In a temperature range from -200 “C to +200 “C the sensor measurement uncertainty should be in accordance with class A of IEC 60751. 4.4.2 Humidity sensor A single humidity sensor should be positioned at the centre of the working space

42、. The relative humidity is then calculated at each point in the working space where a temperature sensor is located by using the temperature difference. This assumes that the absolute humidity remains the same throughout the working space. For confirmation monitoring, data should be recorded at leas

43、t once a minute. The device utilised for recording data from the chamber monitoring sensors should be independent of the chamber control system. Sensor measurement uncertainty should not exceed I3 % RH 5 Determination of humidity performance 5.1 Temperature If the chamber is also to be used for dry

44、temperature testing it will be necessary to determine the temperature profile of the working space in accordance with IEC 60068-3-5 before determining the humidity performance. 6 Standard humidity sequence The following test sequence is recommended to obtain the necessary data for confirming the ran

45、ge of operation of a temperature/humidity chamber. For chambers required to continuously test at set temperature/humidity conditions, a single value ver if cat ion wi I I suffice. Test area conditions should be in accordance with 4.1 of IEC 60068-3-5. An example of a test sequence is as follows: O 1
