At MAC Instruments, we are a leading manufacturer of industrial moisture analyzers. These critical components measure the amount of moisture mixed into the air to help our customers keep their facilities in compliance with industry and ecology standards.

Air density plays a significant role in this measurement process, equally discussed in our wet measurement handbook. A popular method of moisture measurement is based on water vapor density in the air at various standard conditions of temperature and pressure (STP). Knowing these standard measures can help customers use monitoring equipment more precisely.

Density of Air at Standard Temperature and Force per unit area

STP—standard temperature and pressure level—represents conditions that people and systems use to summate gaseous factors. Normally accepted STP values are 32° F (0° C or 273 Chiliad) and 1 atm pressure. However, while STP is a relatively common term, it can mean different things based on the bureau applying the standard. For instance, the National Found of Standards and Technology (NIST) sets its standard at 68° F and 101.325 kPa. On the other hand, the International Standard Metric Weather condition are 59° F and 101.325 kPa for natural gas.

As different industries and applications use different STP values, the best practice is to describe the standard and listing out the exact conditions for each measurement. Stating the temperature and pressure conditions for every readout, inspection, and process tin can keep records articulate.

According to the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) values—xv° C at sea level—the density of dry air is at:

In Metric units: 1.225 kg/g^3
In Imperial units: 0.0765 lb/ft^three

Although pure h2o vapor cannot exist at STP, these density values for dry air tin exist used to calculate a theoretical value for h2o vapor density at STP. Every bit the density of pure h2o vapor is 62.19% of the density of dry air, theoretically, 100% h2o vapor would take a density of 0.7618 kg/m^3 or 0.048 lb/ft^3 at STP.

Uses of STP in Wet Analyzer Applications

Knowing these measurements can help facilitate a better understanding of moisture analyzers. At MAC, we offering several high-performance moisture analyzers, including:

MAC 116 Moisture Analyzer controls the flow of steam in food industry applications to maintain proper moisture levels for optimal production yield and cooking time.
MAC 125 Moisture Analyzer can measure absolute humidity and total pressure level to calculate the surface area's moisture level. This continuous monitoring helps keep facilities compliant with environmental and industrial regulatory standards.
MAC 155 Moisture Analyze r monitors emission stack gases. The equipment tin can assistance ensure that the stack gas'south moisture or humidity levels come across regulatory requirements.
