Measurement Solutions
Rotronic is a world leader in temperature and humidity measurement and known for the top quality and accuracy of its products.
Thanks to continuous expansion of its product portfolio, Rotronic also offers products and solutions for measurement of the parameters CO2, differential pressure, process pressure, dew point and water activity in addition to temperature and humidity measuring instruments.
The product portfolio ranges from probes, sensors and handheld instruments to transmitters, data loggers and monitoring systems.
The fields of use of Rotronic measuring equipment are many and varied and include the food, medical and pharmaceutical industries, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning applications, meteorology as well as the plastics and electronics industries. However, it is also vital to monitor relative humidity or CO2 in, for example, museums in order to obtain an optimum room climate.
You can find further information and customer applications under Applications & Industries.

Humidity
The main fields of use for humidity measuring equipment lie in the pharmaceutical and food industries, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) applications as well as drying processes and storage.
Measurement of air humidity moreover plays a key role in meteorology, while archives and museums also use data loggers or humidity measuring instruments. Apart from humidity, temperature is often also measured. Rotronic humidity measuring instruments therefore usually also measure temperature at the same time.
Do you already know our free Humidity Calculator for dew point, specific humidity and relative humidity?

Temperature
Temperature measurement is important wherever temperature-sensitive products are studied, produced, stored or transported. Rotronic offers a range of temperature measuring instruments to this end: from temperature probes and transmitters to handhelds and data loggers. The Rotronic Monitoring System makes it possible to access temperature and other necessary measured data at any time from anywhere in the world.
Temperature measurement often goes hand-in-hand with humidity measurement. You can also find examples of humidity measurement and temperature monitoring under Applications & Industries

CO2
CO2 − Measurement and Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide in Rooms
Room air monitoring is usually limited to humidity and temperature. Especially in times of a pandemic, measuring and monitoring CO2 is also very important. Correct ventilation in crowded rooms, will significantly reduce the risk of infections including the coronavirus. But when is the best time to ventilate? The carbon dioxide level (“parts per million” ppm) is the key indicator! Find out in the following video why monitoring of CO2 is generally important for our well-being and to judge the room air quality.

Differential Pressure
Differential pressure is measured and monitored where even minor differences in pressure can have a big effect. The fields of use therefore range from clean rooms, operating theaters and laboratories to applications in research, technology and the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) industry. Rotronic offers transmitters and clean room panels as well as numerous accessories for measurement of differential pressure.
Since the parameters relative humidity and temperature also often need to be monitored in combination with differential pressure measurement, Rotronic differential pressure measuring instruments are optionally equipped with temperature probes and humidity sensors or can be expanded with digital and analog add-ons to include additional parameters.
You can find customer applications on the subject of differential pressure measurement and temperature monitoring under Applications and Industries.

Pressure
Process Pressure & Air Pressure Measurement
Apart from electricity, compressed air is nowadays the most-used source of energy throughout industry. In addition to this, pressure measurement technology is one of the most important and frequently used methods of monitoring and controlling machinery and plants. To advance process optimization further, numerous parameters are nowadays compared and requirements balanced against each other. Rotronic uses the piezo-resistive effect for its pressure measurement equipment, thereby supplying a premium transmitter to the market.

Water Activity
Water Activity Measurement - Moisture Meter - Measurement & Monitoring of AW Value
The measurement of water activity or equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) is a key parameter in the quality control of moisture sensitive products or materials.
If there is too much water in a product, there is a risk of microbial growth and water migration. This can lead to clumping, changes in consistency and reduced shelf-life. Manufacturers of foods and pharmaceutical products must, for example, show to the FDA that the water activity of a product has declined to such an extent that bacteria can no longer grow.

Dew Point
Dew Point − Measurement & Monitoring of Trace Moisture
The Rotronic low dew point probes are ideal for measurement of trace moisture; for example, in compressed air systems or in refrigeration or desiccant dryers. Dew point measuring instruments are used in the pharmaceutical and raw material industries, in building services engineering (HVAC), for clean rooms as well as in production and process technologies, and in injection molding; in other words, wherever measurement and monitoring of dew point or trace moisture plays an important role.

Calibration
Calibration of Humidity & Temperature Measuring Instruments
Although ROTRONIC probes boast excellent long-term stability, we still recommend that their calibration be checked regularly. One calibration per year normally suffi ces. Some of our customers, however, calibrate their probes more often; the range of calibration intervals extends from once a year to calibration before every measurement − depending on internal quality assurance rules.
The long-term stability of ROTRONIC probes is better than 1 %rh per year under normal conditions.
