Wet-bulb depressionThe value calculated by subtracting a wet-bulb thermometer reading from a dry-bulb thermometer reading. Used to determine the air's relative humidity or dew point from a psychrometric table.
|
2 |
Wet-bulb depressionThe difference between the wet and dry-bulb temperatures recorded by a psychrometer; used in conjunction with the dry-bulb temperature as a measure of the relative humidity of the air.
|
3 |
Wet-bulb depressionThe difference in degrees between the air temperature (dry-bulb temperature) and the wet-bulb temperature.
|
4 |
Wet-bulb depressionThe difference in degrees between the dry-bulb temperature and the wet- bulb temperature.
|
5 |
Wet-bulb depressionThe difference between the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures.
|
6 |
Wet-bulb depressionOn a psychrometer, the difference in readings between the wet-bulb thermometer and the dry-bulb thermometer; used to determine relative humidity.
