Elcometer 114 Dewpoint Calculator
Quickly determine dew point and relative humidity from wet and dry bulb temperatures
The Elcometer 114 Dewpoint Calculator is a simple, low-cost calculation wheel designed to determine dew point temperature and relative humidity (RH) from wet and dry bulb temperature readings taken with a whirling or sling hygrometer. It provides a fast alternative to looking up measurements in conventional psychrometric conversion tables.
Designed for coating inspection and climatic testing, the Elcometer 114 helps inspectors evaluate atmospheric conditions before blasting, painting or applying protective coatings. Monitoring dew point is important because condensation on a substrate can contribute to poor coating adhesion, premature corrosion and other coating failures.
Designed for use with whirling and sling hygrometers
After measuring wet and dry bulb temperatures with a hygrometer such as the Elcometer 116, the readings are entered by rotating the calculator’s scales. The Elcometer 114 then allows the operator to determine the corresponding dew point temperature and relative humidity without electronic instruments or batteries.
The calculator covers temperatures from -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F) and provides an accuracy of ±1% with respect to standard tables. A Celsius-to-Fahrenheit converter is incorporated into the calculator for convenient use with either temperature scale.
Useful for coating and surface preparation
Environmental conditions can have a significant effect on the quality of a coating application. If a surface is sufficiently cool in relation to the surrounding air and humidity, moisture can condense on the substrate. Determining dew point helps coating inspectors assess this risk before work proceeds.
The Elcometer 114 is particularly useful for field inspectors who already use a mechanical hygrometer and want a compact, reusable method of converting wet and dry bulb readings into practical climatic information.

Q&A
Does the Elcometer 114 measure temperature or humidity directly?
No. The Elcometer 114 is a mechanical calculator rather than a measuring instrument. Wet and dry bulb temperatures must first be measured with a compatible whirling or sling hygrometer. The calculator then converts those readings into dew point and relative humidity values.
Can the Elcometer 114 be used with the Elcometer 116 hygrometer?
Yes. The Elcometer 114 is designed for wet and dry bulb measurements obtained from whirling or sling hygrometers and is particularly well suited to the Elcometer 116 range.
Does the calculator require batteries?
No. The Elcometer 114 is a mechanical calculation wheel and requires no batteries, charging or electronic connection, making it convenient for routine field inspection.
Why is dew point important before applying a coating?
Dew point helps determine the likelihood of atmospheric moisture condensing on a surface. Condensation during surface preparation or coating application can contribute to flash rust, poor adhesion and premature coating failure.
Can readings be used in both Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Yes. The calculator includes a Celsius-to-Fahrenheit converter, while its specified operating range is -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F).
