would the sht11 be good for measuring the air stream inside of "material dryers"???
i have been using the sht11 for some time now with many applications around our production site, and i must say i really enjoy using them.
however i have now been asked if i could use them in more places (and i mean a lot more places!!). We have a bunch of material dryers for drying plastic pellets prior to an injection molding process. so i was wondering what you guys think about using the sht* series sensors for taking semi-accurate measurements of the dryer's internal air stream.
the temperature in the dryer is typically at a constant 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and they run for days/weeks on end..
any input, suggestions, experience or sensor recommendations would be highly appreciated and considered for use in this project.
Thank you!!

One thing is sure, the life of the sensor can be degraded by certain chemicals in the air stream. The Goretex cover can help somewhat, but it can become degraded too, and it does not stop vapors. The plastic beads might be benign, but applications such as drying concrete require special care.
