Vaisala HUMICAP® Handheld Humidity and Temperature Meter HM70 measures relative humidity and temperature accurately in measurement range −70 … +180 °C (−94 … +356 °F), depending on the probe model. HM70 incorporates the advanced Vaisala HUMICAP® technology that enables reliable and high-performance humidity measurement. HM70 consists of 2 main units: Vaisala Handheld Measurement Indicator MI70 and the HMP75/HMP76/HMP77 probe.

Table 1. Display parametersHM70 can be used to measure the following parameters:
Parameter Abbreviation Metric unit Non-metric unit
Relative humidity RH %RH %RH

1 Td/f shows dew point temperature above the freezing point (0 °C/32 °F) and frost point temperature Tf (dew point over ice) below the freezing point.
2 Td shows dew point over water throughout the entire measurement range.
