How to Choose the Right Instrument for
Measuring Humidity and Dew Point
Partial Pressure of
Water Vapor
Humidity is simply water in its
gaseous phase, properly called water
vapor. Because water vapor is a gas,
most of the common gas laws apply
to it, including Dalton's law of partial
pressures. Dalton's law says that the
total pressure of a gas is equal to the
sum of the partial pressures of each
of the component gases:
P
total
= P
1
+ P
2
+ P
3…
If we consider air, the equation means
that the total atmospheric pressure
of 1.013 bar (14.7psia) is the sum of
the partial pressures of nitrogen,
oxygen, water vapor, argon, carbon
dioxide, and various other gases in
trace amounts.
Definition of Water Vapor
Pressure
Water vapor pressure (P
w
) is the
pressure exerted by the water vapor
present in air or a gas. Temperature
dictates the maximum partial
pressure of water vapor. This
maximum pressure is known as
saturation vapor pressure (P
ws
).
The higher the temperature, the
higher the saturation vapor pressure
and the more water vapor the air
can hold. Thus, warm air has a
greater capacity for water vapor
than cold air.

Humidity measurement and control is called for in a wide variety
of industrial applications. Each application has a different set of
requirements for humidity instruments, such as required measurement
range, tolerance to extreme temperature and pressure conditions,
ability to recover from condensation, ability to operate in hazardous
environments, and options for installation and calibration. There is
no single device that is suitable for all needs. In fact, the range of
available equipment is quite large, varying both in cost and quality.
