Wall-Mounted Hair Hygrometer – Reliable analog instrument for measuring relative humidity in incubators. Ideal for incubators without a wet bulb hygrometer or as a complementary monitor. Works without batteries or power supply.
A pheasant farmer from Vicenza wrote to me: "I have an old MG70 without integrated humidity control. With the hair hygrometer installed, I can finally monitor humidity throughout the cycle. Hatching has improved significantly since I started monitoring this parameter."
When is it needed? For incubators without a built-in hygrometer , as a visual check in addition to the control unit sensor, for continuous monitoring without replacing batteries. The dimensions are designed for the MG and Astrale series holes.
How it works: The hair hygrometer exploits the property of hair (natural or synthetic) to stretch as humidity increases. A system of levers transmits this variation to a hand with a graduated scale in %RH. It requires no electrical power.
Comparison with a wet bulb hygrometer: A hair hygrometer is easier to install (just insert it into the hole) and requires no water or sock maintenance. However, it has a slower response (5-25 minutes vs. a few minutes) and lower accuracy (±5% vs. ±3%). The wet bulb is specifically calibrated for 37.8°C, while the hair hygrometer is generic. For precise professional monitoring, we recommend the wet bulb; for practical, maintenance-free monitoring, the hair hygrometer is excellent.
