Description
Relative Humidity
RH
%
The ratio of water vapor pressure to the
saturation water vapor pressure (the
maximum amount of water vapor that can
exist at a given temperature) over a liquid
water surface, expressed as a percentage.
Temperature
Ta
ºC or ºF
The temperature of a gas determines the
maximum quantity of moisture that can
be present as vapor in that gas.
Dew Point
Td
ºC or ºF
The temperature at which dew, or
condensation, forms, on cooling a gas.
This is, therefore, the temperature at
which air becomes saturated in equilibrium
with water.
Absolute Humidity
Abs H
g/m
3
The mass of water vapor present in unit
volume of moist air of a given temperature
and pressure. SI (metric) units are grams
of water per cubic meter of air (g/m
3
).
Wet Bulb
temperature
Tw
ºC or ºF
Temperature indicated by a thermometer
sheathed in wet wicking, and in
fl
uenced by
the rate of evaporation from the wicking.
