Enter the moisture content in the air and the moisture content at saturation into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Percent Saturation. 

Percent Saturation Formula

PS = MCA / MCS * 100

Variables:

  • PS is the Percent Saturation (%)
  • MCA is the moisture content in the air
  • MCS is the moisture content at saturation

To calculate Percent Saturation, divide the moisture content int he air by the moisture content at saturation, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Percent Saturation?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Percent Saturation.

  1. First, determine the moisture content in the air. 
  2. Next, determine the moisture content at saturation. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PS = MCA / MCS * 100.
  4. Finally, calculate the Percent Saturation.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

moisture content in the air = 68

moisture content at saturation = 100
