Abstract
The relative humidities maintained over saturated and unsaturated salt solutions and of some salt hydrate mixtures have been collated from the literature over a wide range of temperature. Results are presented for 38 saturated salt solutions, and details listed for salts which are recommended as suitable for humidity control. The control of humidity in the laboratory by the use of salt solutions is critically discussed.Keywords
