Wet Bulb Hygrometer Wick (1 meter) – Special replacement muslin wick for wet bulb hygrometers. Cotton material that wraps around the thermometer bulb and allows for precise measurement of relative humidity through evaporation. This consumable item requires frequent replacement to maintain accurate readings.

A customer wrote to me: "The wet-bulb hygrometer always read 100% even when the incubator was dry. I replaced the sock, which was encrusted with limescale and dirt, and now it works perfectly again. My mistake: I was using tap water instead of distilled water."

⚠️ CAUTION - CRITICAL MAINTENANCE: The muslin sock is the most important component for the proper functioning of the wet bulb hygrometer. It MUST be replaced frequently and ALWAYS kept moist with distilled water. A dirty, dry, or mineral-encrusted sock will cause completely incorrect readings.

When to replace: With each new batch of eggs, when the sock appears dirty/yellowish, if there are white scale deposits, when the readings are unstable or stuck at 100%, or if the sock no longer absorbs water well. ALWAYS use distilled or demineralized water to avoid mineral deposits.

What's included: 1 meter of cotton muslin wick, enough for several refills. Cut to the length needed to completely wrap the thermometer bulb.

Basic rules: The sock must always be kept moist, use only distilled water, tighten it well around the bulb, make sure it sits properly in the water tank.

Wet Bulb Hygrometer Wick (1 meter) – Complete Data Sheet


📦 Product information

Item code: 28 (HNB-K)

Italian name: Wet bulb humidity reading wick

English name: Wet Bulb Hygrometer Wick / Muslin Cloth

Material: Cotton muslin

Length: 1 meter (can be cut to size)

Compatibility: FIEM HNB wet bulb hygrometer + Fiem thermohygrometer

⚠️ CRITICAL COMPONENT - MANDATORY FREQUENT MAINTENANCE:

The muslin sock is the heart of the wet-bulb hygrometer's measurement system. A dirty, dry, or crusted sock makes humidity readings COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE , compromising the entire incubation.

Replace at each new incubation cycle!

🔍 What is the wick and why is it essential?

The wick (or muslin stocking) is the cotton fabric that wraps the thermometer bulb in a wet-bulb hygrometer. Its function is:

  1. Absorb water from the tank through capillarity
  2. Keep the thermometer bulb constantly moist
  3. Allow evaporation which cools the bulb
  4. Allow measurement of relative humidity

Principle: Water evaporates from the damp sock → the bulb cools → the temperature difference indicates humidity. If the sock malfunctions, the entire system is compromised.

⚠️ WHY FREQUENT REPLACEMENT IS ESSENTIAL

What happens with an old/dirty sock:

  • Limescale Deposits: Tap water leaves behind minerals that clog fibers.
  • Organic contamination: Algae, bacteria, mold grow in moist tissue
  • Loss of capillary action: Cotton no longer absorbs water properly
  • Incorrect readings: The hygrometer reads 100% (dry sock)
  • Delay in response: Humidity changes are not detected

Consequences for incubation:

  • You think the humidity is correct when it isn't.
  • Eggs too dry → air chamber too large → weak chicks
  • Eggs too moist → small air chamber → drowning during hatching
  • Drastically reduced hatchability

📋 When to replace the sock

✅ ALWAYS replace:

  • Optimal At each new incubation cycle/batch
  • When it appears dirty, yellowish or dark
  • If there are visible white deposits (limescale)
  • When readings are unstable or stuck at 100%
  • If the sock no longer absorbs water well
  • After prolonged periods of non-use

🔧 Replacement instructions

Necessary material

  • New wick (cut ~5-8 cm from the spool)
  • Distilled or demineralized water
  • Clean scissors

Procedure

  1. Remove the old sock: Unscrew it or gently slide it off the bulb
  2. Cut the new wick: Long enough to wrap around the bulb + draw into the reservoir
  3. Wrap the bulb: The sock must completely cover the thermometer bulb
  4. Tighten well: There should be no air spaces between the sock and the bulb
  5. Place in the tank: The free end should be sticking out of the water
  6. Fill with distilled water: The tank must be at least 1/3 full
  7. Wet the sock: The first time, moisten it manually
  8. Wait for stabilization: 30-60 minutes before the first reading

💧 DISTILLED WATER: MANDATORY

ALWAYS USE DISTILLED OR DEMINERALIZED WATER!

Tap water contains minerals (calcium, magnesium) that:

  • They settle on the sock forming white crusts
  • They clog the cotton fibers
  • They reduce capillarity (absorption)
  • They drastically shorten the life of the sock
  • They cause incorrect readings

With distilled water the sock lasts 3-4 times longer!

⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

  1. Touch the sock with your fingers frequently: Skin oil contaminates the fibers and prevents proper absorption.
  2. Use tap water: Minerals quickly encrust the sock
  3. Sock too dry: If the tank is empty, readings impossible
  4. Empty tank: Always check the water level
  5. Never change the sock: After weeks it becomes unusable

🔧 Maintenance during use

Daily checks:

  • Make sure the tank is at least 1/3 full
  • Check that the sock is visibly damp
  • Make sure it fishes properly in the water

Weekly checks:

  • Inspect the sock for dirt or deposits
  • Change the water in the tank
  • Evaluate whether it is time to replace the sock

💡 Advice from 45 years of experience: It's better to change the sock one too many than one too few. The cost is minimal (€2/meter = several replacements), but the risk of losing an entire brood due to incorrect readings is very high.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How long does a sock last?
A: With proper use and distilled water, 2 months

Q: Can I wash the sock instead of replacing it?
A: Not recommended. Washing doesn't remove mineral deposits within the fibers, and the soap contaminates the cotton. It only costs €2/meter, so it's best to replace.

Q: Do I have to use distilled water?
A: Highly recommended. Tap water deposits limescale, which quickly ruins the sock and causes inaccurate readings.

Q: The hygrometer always reads 100%. Why?
A: The sock is dry, dirty, or no longer absorbent. Replace it and use distilled water.

Q: How many refills do I get from 1 meter?
A: About 10-15 pieces, depending on the length you need for your hygrometer (typically 5-8 cm per spare).

80mm Diameter Fan for Fiem Smart and Easy / Fan...

€39.10
Availability: 1000 In Stock

🌀 The fan is not an optional extra: it is the incubator's lung that evenly distributes heat and oxygen, determining the life or death of the embryos!

At €32.03 (excluding VAT) , the 80mm diameter UF80B23STH fan is the heart of the ventilation system in Smart and Easy incubators. Without its constant action, you would have lethal hot and cold zones, a disaster for hatching!

💨 This specific FIEM fan ensures optimal air circulation, designed for the size of the incubation chamber. Warm air is evenly distributed, fresh oxygen reaches each egg, and CO2 is expelled. It's this constant ventilation that keeps embryos alive!

⚠️ When should you replace it? If it makes unusual noises (worn bearings), if it turns slower than normal, if it stops intermittently, if the blades are dirty or damaged, or if it loses efficiency after years of continuous use.

💡 A malfunctioning ventilator causes: embryonic mortality due to asphyxiation, irregular development, dead zones in the incubator, drastically reduced hatching rates.

✅ Compatible with Smart and Easy as specified in the FIEM price list.

Wet Bulb Hygrometer / Incubation Hygrometer

€24.50
Availability: 994 In Stock
Portable Wet Bulb Hygrometer / Incubation Hygrometer – Precision analog instrument for measuring relative humidity in incubators. Based on the psychrometric method, considered one of the most accurate.

When is it needed? To check the accuracy of digital sensors in control units, as an independent monitoring tool during critical cycles, to diagnose problems when hatching is not going well, or as the primary tool in incubators without a built-in hygrometer. Essential for breeders seeking a reliable, battery-free monitoring system.

Why the wet bulb method? This principle uses the evaporation of water from a damp cloth to determine relative humidity. It is considered one of the most accurate and reliable methods, with an accuracy of ±3% RH. Unlike digital hygrometers, it does not require power or frequent calibration.

Exclusive Benefits: Specifically calibrated for 37.8°C (incubation temperature), direct reading in %RH without tables, low measurement inertia, no batteries required, extremely accurate for the incubator environment. The set includes a ready-to-use humidifying cloth.

Comparison with a hair hygrometer: The wet bulb hygrometer offers faster response and greater accuracy (±3% vs. ±5-10% for hair). Hair hygrometers are sensitive to wear, dirt, and temperature, require periodic regeneration, and have slow response. For professional incubation, the wet bulb is the more reliable choice.

💰 Price: €24.50 (VAT excluded, shipping excluded) – FIEM COMO WAREHOUSE – Padovan Poultry Farming: professional tools for successful incubation.

Compatibility: Universal - works with any forced-air or still-air incubator

📦 Logistics: Dispatch within 1 business day, delivery within 2-4 days. Warranty: 24 months for private individuals / 12 months for VAT numbers.

Fiem Smart Adhesive Keyboard Membrane /...

€3.40
Availability: 1000 In Stock

⌨️ The keyboard membrane is not just a sticker: it is the interface between you and the electronic brain of your incubator, allowing you to precisely control temperature and humidity!

At just €2.80 (excluding VAT) , the MEMB.TAST.DIG membrane is the touch control panel for the Smart digital thermostat. This thin film with printed buttons is what allows you to set the vital parameters: temperature at 100°F, humidity at 47-62%, and sensor calibration.

🎯 As specified in the FIEM manual, pressing the SET buttons accesses the reference values, and using the up/down arrow keys changes the temperature and humidity. Without a functioning membrane, you cannot control the digital incubator!

⚠️ When should you replace it? If the keys no longer respond to pressure, if the surface is worn and the symbols are no longer legible, if it has cuts or tears, if the adhesive has peeled off the panel, or if liquids have penetrated the contacts.

💡 A common problem: after years of use, the membrane loses sensitivity. Press SET but nothing happens. Before you think the entire thermostat is broken, often all you need to do is replace this inexpensive membrane!

✅ Compatible only with Smart Digital Thermostats . Make sure you have the model with a 3-digit digital display.

📱 Is your thermostat no longer responding? Send us photos of the control panel on WhatsApp and we'll confirm if the membrane is sufficient.

🚚 Ships from Como in 1 day. Minimum order €20 - add thermometer, clips, or other useful spare parts. FIEM since 1975 , Padovan Avicoltura always has membranes and digital components in stock. 24-month warranty for private individuals, 12 VAT numbers.
