Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

HYGROMETER READINGS THAT ARE EXACT: Our on-step hygrometer calibration kt ensures that your hygrometer is giving you precise readings. Calibrate digital and analog hygrometers and humidity sensors to ensure that they provide accurate relative humidity (RH) readings of what's going on inside a humidor. Even if your hygrometer says it doesn't need to be calibrated, it does, at least once every six months. A perfectly calibrated hygrometer will read either 75% or 32% RH.

EASY TO USE Close the zip and come back in 2024 hours. If a hygrometer doesn’t read 75% RH, adjust by the number of points it’s off, then re-test. For added accuracy, do% Adjust the calibration by the number of percentage points it is off from 75% or 32% RH if your hygrometer reads above or below that number.

REUSABLE: After opening, the product is good for 3 months (or 2 years if unopened and in original packaging). To keep a hygrometer or humidity sensor functioning properly, re-calibrate it every six months. The One-Step Calibration Kit is a quick and easy way to calibrate any digital or analog hygrometer or humidity sensor accurately.

THE ULTIMATE SALT TEST: Inaccurate Hygrometer readings jeopardize the quality of premium cigars. Calibrate digital and analog hygrometers and humidity sensors to ensure that they provide accurate relative humidity (RH) readings of what's going on inside a humidor. Bottle cap salt tests and other do-it-yourself calibration methods are inexact and imprecise. It's good for three months after it's been opened!

ABOUT US: Boveda has spent the last 23 years perfecting the science of two-way humidity control, and we're confident that you'll benefit from our dedication to accuracy. It takes time to rise to the top of a category, but Boveda has done so since 1997 and continues to do so. Today, that perseverance manifests itself in the millions of two-way humidity control packets sent out each year to safeguard your most valuable cigars and tobacco products.

Questions & Answers

What is the tolerance for this kind of accuracy? Is it saying /- in other words? 1% or does it mean it means it means it means that it ?

According to Boveda's FAQ page, "While our packs are accurate within /- in an airtight environment," Our calibration formula is even more accurate, within /- 1% 5% and is our recommended calibration formula.

My room temperature must be kept between 55 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Will either one work to recalibrate accuracy to Extech 44515 if the temperature is 65 degrees and the humidity is less than 40?

If you can fit your device into the small enclosed pouch, it should work.

What is the total number of test bags included in this kit?

There is only one, but it can be used multiple times; I believe it is accurate for 6 months after it is opened. I'm not sure about this one, but the boveda 72% calibration kits are identical to the salt test so there is no point in buying.

My weather station's home base won't fit inside the bag; can I use a slightly larger zip lock bag instead?

Yes, as long as it's a sturdy bag like the one they give you. Use a high-quality ziplock bag instead of a low-cost one. A good freezer bag is what I'd use.

Selected User Reviews For Boveda One Step Hygrometer Mess Free Calibration Kit – Preloaded 32% RH 2-Way Humidity Control – Hygrometer Accuracy – Precise Test for Digital and Analog Hygrometers and Humidity Sensors – 1 Count

Create your own - the ziploc bag br>br>After purchasing the hygrometer, I googled the question of calibration and discovered that the exact same thing can be done with a ziplock bag and a small cup of damp salt for a fraction of the price, and the results were just as accurate

3/5

br>br>"Calibrate hygrometer" is a search term on Google. Damp salt maintains a bag s humidity at 70%.

Although some believe these kits are a rip off, this is not true especially if you want to calibrate at an RH level other than 75% - A 32% kit cannot be made with common table salt; other salts are needed

4/5

They are practical, and they are backed by a company. br>br>This last point is crucial because, despite Boveda's claims of /- accuracy, 5%, as another reviewer mentioned, I have ordered 4 of these kits and one was definitively faulty. It implied that my hygrometers were ten times higher than normal. 12% higher than their historical 4- higher than their historical 4- higher than their historic 6% high. I requested and received a replacement kit from Boveda at no cost, and the replacement kit recommended the lower historical calibration. br>br>If you have unusually off results while using the kit (and I recommend waiting at least 36 hours), I recommend requesting another kit from Boveda so you can confirm.

Check to see if your hygrometer fits in the bag! Edit: I just noticed in the answers that you can use a freezer bag that is the right size for your unit

4/5

That information should have been included in the package's instructions. br>Check to see if your hygrometer fits in the bag! Mine didn't work out. Anything bigger than 3" x 2" will almost certainly not fit in the bag. I didn't see anything about it, and there wasn't even a bigger bag to choose from. I have another hygrometer that will fit, so I may be able to use it as a calibration reference for the ones that don't. Sadly, many of the hygrometers available on Amazon are too large to fit in the bag.

THIS BAG IS ACTUALLY ONLY LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD A DECK OF CARDS OF THIS SIZE! Even though I measured my weather station before purchasing this item via mail, it did not fit in the bag when I received it! However, an airtight thick plastic freezer bag, a thick airtight plastic bag used for holding electronics parts, or a thick airtight medical plastic equipment bag should suffice, as long as the bags remain airtight for at least 24 hours

3/5

It's been 36 hours, and it's time to see what's going on At least one side of the bag should be visible. br>br>There's also something the Boveda company left out of the last procedure of the calibration instructions.
The reason why the Boveda bag is clear on the back side of which is when the RH% reading of the weather station is completed, inside the bag before it is I found out later that I had done it incorrectly the first time and that the bag I had used was not see-through. br>br>Based on the other customer reviews, I am aware that I am not the only one who has complained about the bag being too small for their weather stations; this should be addressed to the Boveda company as soon as possible, or they will lose a lot of business! br>br>Overall, even with the larger airtight bag, I'm not sure if the Boveda Hygrometer kit is accurate because my new digital weather station's hydrometer stopped working completely after the calibration.

So I will calibrate the Boveda 32% Hydrometer Calibration kit once more when I receive the same replacement model weather station that I only purchased on I'll give another customer review from the new replacement weather station of the same model that I had previously to test the RH%% accuracy. TP br>br>Sincerelybr>.

This item is a "must have

5/5

" It really works. I discovered that both of our AcuRite 00613 Indoor Humidity Monitors were reading 4 to 6 percentage points above their tolerance spec, which is completely unacceptable. One piece of advice: the longer the hydrometer is left in the bag, the better. Between 24 and 30 hours in the bag, I discovered that both of our hydrometers had dropped at least a point. As a result, I'd leave it in the bag for at least 30 to 36 hours. If you don't have a hydrometer, get one and put it to the test. You won't be sorry if you do.

The product appears to be defective

3/5

It is closer to 41%RH than 32% RH. I used six hygrometers from various manufacturers to test this product. It is closer to 41%RH than 32% RH than 41%RH than 41%RH than 41%RH than 41%RH than The 75% product was close enough for accurate calibrations but it might be better to just buy some lab grade magnesium chloride and sodium chloride salts for accurate calibrations just.

32RH bag small with a good low rh base point

4/5

RH cal kit Fast ship 32% Fast ship Fast ship Fas Acurite 1080m fits in a bag that is just big enough. To get the lower 32% rh base point, I needed to reduce the value by about 7%. One star deducted because the bag could have been a bit bigger. The fit is a little tight. Furthermore, because the bag is labeled on one side, you must adjust the bag by feel while inside it. br>br>Perfect lower range, which is required for hydrometer calibration when using a dry cabinet to store photographic equipment. Thanks.

It's a good product, but it's a little pricey to keep using

4/5

It did the job, but I'm not sure I want to pay this much for calibration every time one of my three humidors needs to be calibrated. It is entirely up to you to make this decision. Does the job, but the cost of using them on a regular basis can be prohibitive.
