Dear Technical Support Team,
One of my customers is a user of the DS1923 iButton Hygrochron Temperature/Humidity Logger. They are currently considering the possibility of using the DS1923 inside a vacuum chamber. According to the customer, the chamber may be evacuated down to approximately 6 Pa.
Regrettably, I am not authorized to access further details about the specifics of their experiment. From my side, I intend to inform them that this scenario goes beyond the specified operating conditions of the device, and that it is unlikely the DS1923 will function properly as a humidity sensor under such low-pressure conditions. The customer is also concerned about the potential for outgassing from the DS1923 device.
I would greatly appreciate your advice on the following points:
- Are you aware of any cases where the DS1923 iButton—or any other iButton devices—have been used inside a vacuum chamber, particularly in environments at approximately this level of low pressure?
- If such cases exist, could you please share what kind of protection or precautions were taken to shield the DS1923 from the vacuum conditions?
Any insights or reference information you can provide would be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards,
