Humidity sensors for evolving environmental test chambers requirements

Extreme environmental conditions required in automotive testing need humidity and temperature sensors that can measure up to 98%RH and 95°C. These sensors must be highly reliable throughout repeated cyclical testing. You can achieve this by using high-quality capacitive polymer sensors and features such as warmed probe, sensor purge, and sensor heating. These features can improve performance, as well measure environmental conditions that conventional humidity sensors are unable to withstand.
