Job Description:

• 1) Measures temperature and humidity in vicinity of machine that transforms liquid polymers, cellulose, or other materials into synthetic fibers by dry spinning process, to detect deviations from plant standards: Takes humidity readings near spinnerettes through which fibers are extruded into air, using hygrometer or similar humidity gauge.

• 2) Reads thermometers and temperature-recording charts on machine.

• 3) Notifies machine operator or other personnel when temperature or humidity conditions are not within specified range, to facilitate equipment adjustments for production of fibers having prescribed characteristics.

• 4) May compute humidity readings, using wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometer and standard procedure.

• 5) May turn valves or move controls to regulate machine or process conditions, according to changes in temperature or humidity.
