For calibrating a moisture sensor (1), the latter is used to measure the relative moisture (U1, U2) at each of two known gas pressure values (P1, P2), likewise to be measured if necessary. At the same time, other ambient conditions are kept constant. A correction value for correction of the measured values of the moisture sensor to be subtracted from the latter is then obtained from the formula: k=((P1 / P2)*U2-U1) / (P1 / P2-1). The moisture sensor (1) is thus capable of calibration without measurement of the actual moisture value.
