ABSTRACT:
A humidity sensing element of the capacitance sensing type having two sets of interdigitated fingers of thin film platinum deposited on a glass substrate, all covered by a coating of water absorbing material such as cellulose acetate butyrate or a silicone rubber. The coating is of thickness such that it is substantially equal to or greater than the period of the fingers of the interdigitated electrodes.
