Due to the unavailability of climate rooms, I want to carry out an experiment that require the use of certain saturated salt solutions especially those that can condition the wood specimen to 35%, 65%, and 95% RH at a temperature of 20 +/- 2 °C . Can anyone please provide suggestions of the appropriate salt solutions?
A few paper references possibly helpful:
