Boveda test kit...how long to wait?

[Curmudgeon76]

Hi all,

I'm doing a second test of my hygrometer, to try to get the most accurate idea of how off it might be. The Boveda test kit recommends waiting 24-36 hours, but I've seen folks on here who've said they've left it for 48 hours. Is there any general consensus on how long the hygrometer should remain in the test kit?

Cheers,
Justin

What kind of hygrometer?

 

[dpricenator]

in a small enclosure 48 should be enough. I saw someone say he waits 72, but also admitted he is very meticulous and probably goes overboard.

Terran,

It's a WH Caliber III hygrometer.

if you are using the calibration bag, then 48 hours will do it. do the test twice. keep temp as close as you can to 70 degrees
