Humidity Ratio Calculator

Estimate moisture in air for HVAC design fast. Choose units, see steps, avoid mistakes easily. Download clean tables for reports and field checks anytime.

Enter Inputs

Typical HVAC range: -10°C to 50°C.
%
0% is fully dry; 100% is saturation.
Sea-level standard: 101.325 kPa.
Advanced fields help reporting and HVAC checks.
Tip: If pressure is unknown, use local station pressure for best accuracy.

Example Data Table

Dry-bulb RH Pressure Humidity ratio (g/kg)
25 °C 50% 101.325 kPa ~9.88
30 °C 60% 101.325 kPa ~16.0
18 °C 40% 90 kPa ~6.0
Values are approximate and depend on the saturation pressure correlation.

Formula Used

The humidity ratio w (also called mixing ratio) relates water vapor to dry air:

  • Pws(T): saturation vapor pressure at dry-bulb temperature
  • Pw = RH × Pws: water vapor partial pressure
  • w = 0.62198 × Pw / (P − Pw): humidity ratio (kg/kg dry air)

Advanced outputs include q = w/(1+w) (specific humidity), vapor density from the ideal gas law, and moist-air enthalpy using a common HVAC approximation.
