RELATIVE HUMIDITY
RELATIVE HUMIDITY is the
measure of how saturated the air
is with water vapour. If the air is
holding all the moisture it can
for a specific set of conditions,
then it is said to be saturated. At
this saturated state it is said to
have a relative humidity of
100%. Relative humidity is
measured as how much water
vapour is present in the air as a
percentage of how much water
vapour would be in the same air
at saturation.
DEW POINT
DEW POINT (Tdp or DPT)
corresponds to the temperature at
which air becomes completely
saturated. At dew point dry bulb
temperature and wet bulb
temperature are exactly the same.
Dew point is represented along
the 100% relative humidity line on
the psychrometric chart.
