Hygrometers in the home are ordinarily of the hair type. Some "hygrometers" are actually stationary psychrometers, with the wet-bulb covered by a wick which carries a constant flow of water from a small dish or tube. Such instruments may give fairly accurate humidity measurements indoors if the air is calm and proper humidity tables are used, but outside the variation of air movement about the wet-bulb produces corresponding variations in the reliability of derived humidity values. 1, record 1, English, - stationary%20psychrometer

The sand and gravel were carefully washed from the interior of the scoop, and the wood surface was cleaned with an ultrasonic dental scaler and soft brushes. The PEGcon method (which employs software developed jointly by Parks Canada and CCI) was used to evaluate the condition of the wood and to calculate suitable polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions for treatment. The cleaned scoop was then soaked in PEG solution as directed by PEGcon; the wood absorbed the PEG and the cell walls were protected against shrinkage and collapse. 1, record 8, English, - PEGcon%20method
