Subtracting the wet bulb reading from the dry bulb reading yeilds the wet bulb depression.
Always water is used in hygrometers.
When the thermometers are ventilated the wet bulb temperature will be lower than the dry bulb temperature.
Such an instrument is called a wet bulb thermometer.
The oldest and the most common is to use a dry bulb and a wet bulb thermometer this is what is known as a psychrometer.
Reading the hygrometer is not tricky but it may vary depending on the type and model you are using.

The temperature of the wet bulb.
When we use alcohol in wet bulb temperature drops very rapidly and gives more difference between dry and wet bulbs because water evaporates more rapidly from the wet bulb s surface than water giving more cooling effect.
A hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the amount of humidity and water vapour in the atmosphere in soil or in confined spaces.
Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature pressure mass a mechanical or electrical change in a substance.
For instance a wet and dry bulb requires the following numbers.
The difference between the wet and dry bulb temperature enables the rh to be determined through the use of the table and calculate.
Evaporation from the water on the wet bulb causes its temperature reading to drop causing it to show a lower temperature than the dry bulb.
A hygrometer is a device that is used to measure the moisture content of the air basically this means the relative humidity and the dew point.
