Enter the temperature in Celsius into the calculator below to determine the water vapor pressure.
Water Vapor Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the saturated water vapor pressure.
P = 0.61*e(18.68-T/234.5)*(T/(257.14+T)
- Where P is the saturated vapor pressure (kPA)
- T is the temperature (C)
Water Vapor Pressure Definition
A water vapor pressure is a pressure required in order for the water vapor in the air to be at equilibrium.
Water Vapor Pressure Example
How to calculate water vapor pressure?
- First, measure the temperature of the air.
If necessary, convert the temperature into units of Celsius.
- Next, enter the temperature into the formula.
Calculate the water vapor pressure using the temperature from step 1 and the formula above.
- Finally, analyze the results.
Do the results make logical sense? If so, you have your answer, if not, check the calculation.
