1. What is Saturation Humidity?

Saturation Humidity is defined as the absolute humidity of vapour-gas mixture at 100% saturation. It represents the maximum amount of water vapor that air can hold at a given temperature.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Hs = AH \times \left( \frac{100}{\%H} \right) \]

Where:

\( Hs \) — Saturation Humidity
\( AH \) — Absolute Humidity (Kg of water vapour per Kg of air)
\( \%H \) — Percentage Humidity (%)

Explanation: The formula calculates the saturation humidity by scaling the absolute humidity to what it would be at 100% saturation based on the current percentage humidity.

3. Importance of Saturation Humidity Calculation

Details: Calculating saturation humidity is crucial for understanding air moisture capacity, predicting condensation, and designing HVAC systems and industrial processes that involve air-water vapor mixtures.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter absolute humidity in Kg of water vapour per Kg of air and percentage humidity as a percentage value. Both values must be positive, with percentage humidity between 0-100%.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the difference between absolute and saturation humidity?
A: Absolute humidity is the actual water vapor content, while saturation humidity is the maximum possible water vapor content at a given temperature.

Q2: How does temperature affect saturation humidity?
A: Saturation humidity increases with temperature - warmer air can hold more moisture than colder air.

Q3: What is the relationship between relative humidity and percentage humidity?
A: Percentage humidity is essentially the same as relative humidity, both expressing the ratio of actual moisture content to maximum possible content.

Q4: When is this calculation most useful?
A: This calculation is particularly useful in meteorology, HVAC design, industrial drying processes, and any application involving air moisture control.

Q5: Are there limitations to this formula?
A: This formula assumes ideal gas behavior and may have slight variations at extreme temperatures or pressures, but is generally accurate for most practical applications.
