A highly accurate relative humidity sensing device includes a sensory unit having a humidity sensitive capacitor which has a capacitance which changes as a function of relative humidity. The sensor unit is housed in a tubular unit which is inserted through an aperture into the environment to be measured which is typically a duct or the like. The unit is constructed for easy removability. A housing having a central aperture is bolted to the duct and the tube containing the sensor is inserted through the aperture into a hole drilled into the sidewall of the duct. The cylinder holding the sensor is grasped by a releasably detachable securing structure. By releasing the securing structure, the cylinder may be withdrawn from the duct for replacement of the sensor.
