Note:
Temperatures on this page are on the Celcius scale. If you are more familiar with Fahrenheits, you may want to see what a value in Celcius would be in Fahrenheit: use our F/C Converter.



saturated vapour pressure (SVP)       [top]
Saturated water vapour pressure in air; empirical relation:
some spaceequation#2 of svp_water
Temperature T in Celcius [ = {Kelvin} - 273.15]); validity range roughly 0-80oC.
[Source: Monteith and Unsworth, 1990; some parameters slightly adjusted ]

saturated vapour pressure
Temperature [oC]:
Sat. vapour pressure [Pa]:


relative humidity of air       [top]
Relative humidity is the ratio of partial vapour pressure and saturated vapour pressure at ambient temperature:
some spaceequ: relative humidity
If humidity is to be determined by dry- and wet-bulb temperatures (Td and Tw, respectively; Celcius scale), partial vapour pressure is calculated by (at ambient pressure 1 atm):
some spaceequ: partial vapour pressure
where psat,w is saturated vapour pressure at the wet-bulb temperature. Finally, saturated vapour pressure at dry-bulb temperature (i.e. normal ambient temperature) must be calculated, and the pressure ratio gives relative humidity.

Dry-bulb temperature [oC]:
Wet-bulb temperature [oC]:
Relative humidity [%]:


density of water       [top]
Empirical relation for T=0-30oC, error <0.1 kg/m3:
some spaceequ: density of water
For a wider temperature range (T=0-50oC, error <0.1 kg/m3) use instead:
some spaceequ: density of water
Density rhow in [kg/m3].
(Note: at 3.98oC water has its highest density).

density of water (0-50oC)
Temperature [oC]:
Density of water [kg/m3]:


density of (humid) air       [top]
Empirical relation:
some spaceequ: density of air
Temperature T in Celcius; barometric pressure B in [Pa]; partial vapour pressure pv in [Pa]; rhoa: density [kg/m3]; validity range: 'environmental' values. (Note: 1 atm = 1.01325 x 105 Pa)

Density of air [kg/m3]:


diffusion coefficient of water vapour in air       [top]
Empirical relation:
some spaceequ: diffcoef of water vapour in air
T: temperature, Celcius [C]; Dv: diffusion coefficient [m2/s].
Error: <0.1x10-6 m2/s; validity range: 0-45oC.
