I’m calculating this acurite temperature/humidity reader. I looked on the how to forum for calibrating it and I wanna know if i’m doing it right? I’ve never done this before and I wanna make sure I get it right.

you have to have a air tight container? table salt? teaspoon? bottle cap?

To answer both questions, yes. It should read around 75%. I find its best to let it 'run' overnight, so 6 - 8 hours may be will help it equalise

when it reads 75% will it also go up and down to show that the humidity part is working? The temperature part works but before doing this the humidity part always stayed at 99% i’m hoping it will go up and down to show that its working

It will hover around 75% when its been in the 'chamber' for a couple of hours. Any major changes is likely due to the humidity in the chamber settling.

If if doesn't sit at 75%, the gauge is either busted or inaccurate.

Did all that and left it sealed for about 8 hours and the humidity reads at 92%

Just a couple drops of water and let it sit overnight? Maybe it wasn’t enough time?

Im gonna have to redo it cuz it went to 85% and then i dropped it and the salt went all over the bowl so i just put it back in the crabitat and the humidity went up to 99% again ):
