Dry Bulb Thermometer
The primary tool used to measure ambient moisture content. Dry bulb thermometers are an essential part of water damage assessment and monitoring indoor air quality.
How it Works
A dry bulb thermometer works by measuring the temperature of the air around it. The bulb of the thermometer is made of a metal that conducts heat well. When the air temperature rises, the bulb heats up and expands. This expansion causes the mercury or alcohol inside the thermometer to rise, which indicates the temperature.
