Second, the salt test is VERY precise if performed carefully and correctly. A range of 73-77% as reported is well outside of what is well known in the scientific community. The salt test is so EXACT, in fact, that scientists use it as a standard approach to calibration. The result of the test is temperature dependent, but for any stable temperature there is a very predictible RH that will result in a well sealed environment. Purity of the salt can certainly affect the result, but if the same salt is used each time, the result will be the same. If one is using non-iodized table salt, the impact on the RH will not be noticeable. Obviously one would not want to do the test with rock salt or sea salt and then expect to get 75.4% RH in the test. Based on these glaring problems with what "Peterholm" has said , I would take no stock in anything he's saying. I'm sorry, but I know better...
And there you have it. Thanks for clarfying that prflani.
