Absolute humidity
DEFINITION:
At 8o C, the
maximum moisture
content in the air is
8.28 g/m3 At 20o C, the
maximum moisture
content in the air is
17.31 g/m3

Frosio course handout: Section 07 Ambient conditions
Relative humidity
DEFINITION:
The ratio of
The amount of water vapour present in a
given volume of air at a given temperature
and
The maximum amount of water vapour which
this volume of air can hold at that
temperature
RH is expressed as a percentage
6
Frosio course handout: Section 07 Ambient conditions
Relative humidity, RH
% R.H.:
Water vapour in the air as percentage of the total
amount water vapour the air can contain at the
same temperature.
Example
Air at 20o C can contain 17.31 g. water/m3, but the
actual content is measured to 15 g/m3. What is the
R.H. ?
15g x 100%
R.H. = = 86.65%
17.31g

saturated with water vapour

Blisters sometime
contain water
Rust will not be formed
inside intact blisters, due
to the high pH
As soon as the blisters
break corrosion will start
