Swedish term or phrase: \"handslunga\"
Vid osäkerhet eller felvisning av fuktmätning använd handslunga för kontroll och nedskriv värdet i tillverkningsjournalen

As far as it goes, my translation reads "In the event of uncertainty or erroneous air humidity readings, use _________ for control and record the value in the Manufacturing Record Book"

But what on earth is "handslunga"? My guess is it's slang for some sort of manual documentation, but I cannot find any source for this. Grateful for any suggestions and ideas...

Have a great day out there // Paul

Explanation:
Hi Paul. Obscure! My immediate reaction is more that it's a device rather than documentation, some kind of handheld gauge or moisture meter, but I can't be sure of that without a broader context. I hope this helps in some small way, or at least triggers some kind of further discussion.

Thanks very much
Notes to answerer
Asker: This was spot-on, in fact a variation of the apparatus itself being a hand-held version, which is used in the manufacture of, inter alia, weapons systems. So "handheld sling psychrometer" is the winning answer.

Explanation:
I offer this as a handy (sorry!) general term which can be used in other contexts, as 'handslunga' is not specifically limited to moisture meters
