Abstract
THE development of an electrolytic hygrometer by which moisture or water at very low levels may be detected and measured has been described elsewhere1. The instrument has many applications, but our principal uses have been for the measurement of the concentration of water in gas streams and for the determination of small discrete amounts of water in various devices such as lamps, valves and relays. Another use of the instrument is to measure water produced indirectly in appropriate conditions by the reduction of an oxide in a stream of hydrogen gas; for example, iron oxide or tungsten oxide.
