1. Scope

1.1 This practice describes a method for obtaining constant relative humidity ranging from 30 to 98% at temperatures ranging from 0 to 70°C in relatively small containers by means of an aqueous glycerin solution.

1.2 This practice is applicable for closed systems such as environmental conditioning containers.

1.3 This practice is not recommended for the generation of continuous (flowing) streams of constant humidity unless precautionary criteria are followed to ensure source stability.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
