Air Density Calculator

Calculate Air Density

Calculate air density based on temperature, atmospheric pressure, and relative humidity. Essential for aviation, HVAC, and engineering applications.

Input Parameters

Formula

ρ = (Pd / (Rd × T)) + (Pv / (Rv × T))

Where Pd is dry air pressure, Pv is vapor pressure, Rd and Rv are gas constants, and T is temperature in Kelvin.

Note

Air density decreases with higher temperature and altitude. It increases with higher pressure and lower humidity.

Standard Conditions

Sea Level (ISA)
15°C, 1013.25 hPa, 0% RH
≈ 1.225 kg/m³
Room Temperature
20°C, 1013.25 hPa, 50% RH
≈ 1.204 kg/m³
Hot Day
35°C, 1013.25 hPa, 80% RH
≈ 1.146 kg/m³

Factors Affecting Density

  • Temperature (↑ temp = ↓ density)
  • Pressure (↑ pressure = ↑ density)
  • Humidity (↑ humidity = ↓ density)
  • Altitude (↑ altitude = ↓ density)

Applications

  • Aviation performance calculations
  • HVAC system design
  • Aerodynamic analysis
  • Weather forecasting
  • Engine performance tuning
