Steve,
Relative Humidity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_humidity
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL5cgXwKUXc
If the absolute humidity is high (even 30%) but the temperature is also
high, I think the humidity indicators will show low humidity exposure.
I think that relative humidity is crucial to component water absorption or
drying.
But I wonder if package cracking doing to expansion of gases entrapped in
the package material (plastic) is a function of the absolute vapor content
in that material.

Bob,
I have always considered them to be absolute. If relative - relative to
what?
Do the cardboard indicators provide a temp range for which they are valid?

Subject: [TN] Humidity Measurements: Relative or Absolute
Hi,
As I start looking at humidity measurement devices I started to wonder if
IPC humidity numbers are Relative or Absolute? Does anyone know off hand. I
need to go buy some specs.
I would have thought Absolute but the cardboard indicators are temperature
sensitive as are the desiccant drying systems in dry cabinets.
If the temperature is high, say > 100C then a part will "Bake Out"
regardless of the absolut humidity, is that right?
