Enter the dry bulb temperature ( Tdry ) and wet bulb temperature ( Twet) in C or F, then click on the Calculate RH button
NOTE: Fine tune this by entering YOUR barometric pressure (i.e. 29.1) 1. The pressure is assumed to be 101.3 kPa (kiloPascals). 2. A conversion factor is calculated: A = 0.00066 (1.0 + 0.00115 Twb) 3. The saturation vapor pressure is calculated at Twb: eswb = e[(16.78 Twb - 116.9)/(Twb + 237.3)] 4. The water vapor pressure is calculated: ed = eswb - A P (Tdb - Twb) 5. The saturation vapor pressure is calculated at Tdb: esdb = e[(16.78 Tdb - 116.9)/(Tdb + 237.3)] 6. The relative humidity is then calculated: RH = 100 ed/esdb
