Calculations
There are three basic methods for determining the moisture
content of a gas in PPM
V
:
• the calculations described in this appendix
• calculations performed with the slide rule device that is
provided with each GE Panametrics hygrometer
• values determined from tabulated vapor pressures
For comparison purposes, examples of all three procedures are
listed in Table A-4.
