ABSTRACT:
A dew or frost point temperature hygrometer wherein a reflective surface, which is cooled by a cryogenic source and held at the dew or frost point temperature by a servo control, reflects light from a light source to a light detector. Very low concentrations of moisture or frost which condense on the reflective surface are measured very rapidly as a change in light reflected from that surface. No re-calibration is needed throughout its exceedingly wide moisture measurement range of from less than 1 part per billion to about 30 parts per thousand within a range of temperature from about -110.degree. C. to about 30.degree. C.
