1) Density is based on atmospheric pressure 14.696 psia and molecular weight of air 28.97

  • density - 1 lb/ft3 = 16.018 kg/m3
  • pressure - 1 psi (lb/in2) = 6,894.8 Pa (N/m2)
  • temperature - T(oC) = 5/9[T(oF) - 32]

Air Density - Temperature and Pressure

 

Density of air can also be expressed as

ρ = 1.325 pin Hg / TR         

   = 2.7 ppsia / TR      

   = 2.7 (ppsig + 14.7) / (TF + 459.7)   (1)

where

ρ = density (lb/ft3)

pin Hg = absolute pressure (inches Hg)

TR = absolute temperature (Rankine)

ppsia = absolute pressure (psia)

ppsig = gage pressure (psig)

TF = temperature (oF)
