Field Comparison between Sling Psychrometer and Meteorological Measuring Set AN/TMQ-22

Abstract

During the Service Check Test of Meteorological Measuring Set AN/TMQ- 22, a discrepancy in dew point temperature readings was noted between it and the ML-224 Sling Psychrometer. From a series of independent tests designed to minimize error it was concluded that the AN/TMQ-22 yielded a more accurate dew point reading. The average relative humidity error using the sling psychrometer was +9% while the AN/TMQ-22 had a plus or minus 2% error. Even with cautious measurement the sling yielded a +4% error.
