What is Percent Saturation?

Percent Saturation is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a given temperature. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how close the air is to being fully saturated with moisture. This measurement is important in various fields such as meteorology, agriculture, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning).

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Calculate the Percent Saturation:

\[ PS = \frac{10}{20} \times 100 = 50\% \]

The Percent Saturation is 50%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Calculate the Percent Saturation:

\[ PS = \frac{15}{30} \times 100 = 50\% \]

The Percent Saturation is 50%.
