Abstract
A device is provided for generating a defined relative humidity in a gas. This device includes a saturator chamber connected by at least one connecting line to a measuring chamber. The relative humidity in the measuring chamber can be adjusted by varying the pressures in the saturator chamber and in the measuring chamber. A valve unit is arranged in the connecting line. The valve unit and the portion of the connecting line located between the valve unit and the saturator chamber are in thermal contact with a heating device.
