    certainly not.

    just consider your result is "inside" those limits.

    Just for laughing : which reference and how many points will you use to calibrate your sensor ??? ( good question, no ??? )

    Alain ( Thermics and Thermodynamics Engineer ... BTW.)
    The document Alain refers to specifies accuracy, not precision. Accurate data may be precise or imprecise. Inaccurate data may also be precise or imprecise.

    I prefer imprecision of accurate data to precision of inaccurate data. Someone who has used both a slide rule and an electronic calculator feels this intuitively, in his gut.

    Of course, what we all want is both accuracy and precision. That's why God invented calibration and told engineers to do it.

    amindzo, I'm showing you ways to do the calculations; Alain is telling you you don't need them. He may be right . . . but you still have to convert the raw SOrh into %RH, and the formulas will help you do that.

    I'm also obliged to note that the document to which Alain refers is 6 years out of date.

    "Easy to use" is easy to say.
