The Norwegian Metrology Service’s work on humidity measurement

Humidity affects many industrial and scientific processes. For this reason, the Norwegian Metrology Service works to develop and maintain accurate measurement methods for, among other things, air humidity.

The Service provides traceability to national references for relative humidity and dew point. This is important for industries requiring high precision, such as electronics manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry and climate research.

We develop and improve calibration methods and offer calibration services to laboratories and industry. This ensures that measuring instruments in Norway maintain a high standard and deliver reliable results.

The Norwegian Metrology Service also cooperates with international organisations to ensure that Norwegian measurements are comparable with those from other countries.
