A New Absolute Method of Hygrometry. II. The Properties of Potassium Chloride Crystal Elements

Abstract

A new type of hygrometer, which has been termed the electrolytic condensation hygrometer, was described in the first of the present two papers. Its capabilities and limitations depend mainly on the characteristics of the conducting liquid layer formed on the surface of the crystal element used ; these characteristics depend in turn on those of the surface of the crystal.
