Question

Dry bulb and wet bulb temperature to relative humidity formula

Answer 1

Answer:

Air humidity can be estimated by measuring

dry bulb temperature, and

wet bulb temperature

Humidity measurement - dry wet bulbe temperature meeter

Dry Bulb Temperature - Tdb - can be measured with a simple thermometer as shown above.

Wet Bulb Temperature - Twb - can be measured with a standard thermometer with some wet clothing, cotton or similar, around the bulb. Note that continuously air flow around the thermometer is important to evaporate water from the wet clothing and achieve a correct wet bulb temperature.

Sufficient air movement can be achieved with a sling thermometer or similar.

Relative humidity can be estimated from the tables below or alternatively from a psyhrometric or a Mollier diagram.
