The meter also measures "absolute humidity g/m^3" (mass) and enthalpy (kcal/kg), which is what we want to measure. I guess enthalpy is derived from absolute humidity and temperature.

It is never purely dry. I think people here should concede that Galantini is expert enough to select the right kind of meter after all, and it is likely he also knows how to use the meter to measure by mass instead of volume. - Jed
