RHUmfeld
RHUmfeld is a term used to describe the environmental context defined by relative humidity (RH) surrounding a subject, such as a material, product, device, or living organism. The concept emphasizes how moisture conditions interact with temperature and other factors to influence performance, stability, and interactions with the surrounding environment. In practice, the RHUmfeld is described by the level of relative humidity, the ambient temperature, and often the resulting dew point, since these variables determine moisture transfer, condensation risk, humidity-induced aging, and microbial viability.
The concept is employed across disciplines, including manufacturing, storage and logistics, electronics, materials science, agriculture, and
Measurement and management are central to handling RHUmfeld. It is typically assessed with hygrometers or psychrometric
