I am trying to locate the formula that will let me calculate the amount of water in air. Either in pounds or grains
I have a spread sheet with Wet bulb & dry bulb temperatures in the same for 6 months of working days.

Thanks

Tablet, I take it this is at atmospheric press. Why not just look it up on the standard psychrometric chart?

Thank you for your reply
Yes this is at Atmospheric pressure.

My applicication involves tableting of a hygroscopic powder.

I am looking for a single data point at which severe sticking occurs on the punch faces.
RH% is not a good indicator because of temperature swings in the processing area. I believe the actual measure of water available for the powder to absorb will be a better indicator.

I have months of spreadsheet data, wet bulb & dry bulb temperatures for each day along with a rating on sticking severity. I would like to plug this formula into the spreadsheet in order to save time of looking every one up on the chart.

Thank you
