Hi,

I need help to convert humidity to wet bulb temp in the PLC. Is there a formula for this conversion?

Thanks.

If you are refering to Specific Humidity of Air (Humidity Ratio) I have a Nomogram that can help. Send me your address and I will send it to you!

which in return is linked to from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics .

It might be better to have the journal name, date and page number for the references. Someday I might make nomograms digitally in the .svg format so that they can be scaled up to achieve any precision desired.

I don't know the best way to do every calculation
but the more references there are the more ways
will be available to check the calculations.
