1 Purpose and scope
Adapted from Keenan and Keyes (1936)
1.1 The purpose of this Data is to assemble psychrometric data in chart
and equation form in both SI and English units.
273.16< T <533.16
1.2 Psychrometric charts are presented that give data for dry bulb
temperature ranges of 35 to 600 F in English units and 10 to 120 C where
in SI units.
1.3 Many analyses of psychrometric data are made on computers. The R 522,105,649.25 D 50.1255831023
equations given in Sections 2 and 3 enable the calculation of all A 5227,405.526 E 520.4850231027
psychrometric data if any two independent psychrometric properties of an
air-water vapor mixture are known in addition to the atmospheric B 597.5413 F 54.34903
pressure. In some cases, iteration procedures are necessary. In some C 520.146244 G 50.3938131022
instances, the range of data covered by the equation has been extended
beyond that given in the original source. The equations yield results that 2.2.2 Saturation line. T as a function of Ps
