34、dity is commonly abbreviated to rh, although this is not a recognized abbreviation. NOTE 2 Values of relative humidity are usually expressed in units of percentage relative humidity, % rh. “% rh” is not an agreed SI unit. However, the use of the symbol “%” alone to denote units of relative humidity
35、is generally not advisable, since there is a risk of confusion between value of relative humidity and fraction of value.BS 1339-1:2002 BSI 24 October 2002 5 2.1.38 saturation mixing ratio mixing ratio of humid gas in equilibrium with a plane surface of water or ice at the same temperature containing
