Abstract
A humidity sensing portion is mounted in a gap between a first opposite member and a second opposite member. Metal joints and dummy joints are provided in the gap between the first opposite member and the second opposite member, and the two opposite members are fixed to each other through the metal joints and the dummy joints. Since only the metal joints and the dummy joints are present in the gap between the two opposite members, gas to be measured is easily introduced into the humidity sensing portion, and the sensing response to the humidity change is improved.
