3.0. ACCOUNTABILITY:

Head of Departmental – Quality Control

4.0. PROCEDURE:

4.1 Humidity & Temperature Recording

 Use calibrated Hygrometer for recording of Relative Humidity and Temperature by the
following procedure.
 Check the water level and fill the water compartment with water by using wash bottle.
 Ensure that the wick is clean and soaked in water to ensure constant flow of water to the wet
bulb.
 Remove the hygrometer from the wall and swing it at about 45° angle about 100 rotations
and check the readings till constant readings are attained. Take care while swinging the
Hygrometer to avoid spillage of water from the water compartment.
 Note down the temperature readings of dry and wet bulbs in degree Celsius.
 Subtract wet bulb temperature reading from the dry bulb temperature reading to get the
depression in temperature of wet bulb in degree Celsius.
 Record the percent relative humidity from the RH table corresponding to dry bulb
temperature along the left side of the table and depression of wet bulb temperature along the
top of the table.
 Record dry bulb temperature; wet bulb temperature and relative humidity twice in a day on
the ‘Environmental Monitoring Record’ (Annexure – 1) of predetermined areas.
 If there are any abnormal observations, in the readings of temperature, head of the Department shall
be intimated for necessary actions in coordination with Head – Engineering.
 Acceptence Creteria :- Temperature should be below 250 C.
