    45-day Public Review from October 4, 2013 to November 18, 2013

    1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE Standard 41.61994R, Standard Method for Humidity Measurement This revision of Standard 41.6-1994 significantly updates the standard from its previously published version. The changes to this standard are a result of the completion of ASHRAE research project 1460-RP, Design Specifications for Wet-Bulb Aspirator Apparatus. Additional updates to this standard include the removal of moist air properties calculations, the inclusion of uncertainty analysis for humidity measurements, and changes to bring this standard into compliance with ASHRAEs mandatory language and SI (I-P) units requirements. Also, the standard has been arranged consistent with recently published 41-series standards which include a classifications section and updated definitions and references.
