Air - Density vs. Pressure and Temperatures

Air density at pressure ranging 1 to 10 000 bara (14.5 - 145000 psi) and constant selected temperatures.

Density is the ratio of the mass to the volume of a substance:

ρ = m/V [1]

where
ρ = density, units typically [kg/m³] or [lb/ft³]
m = mass, units typically [kg] or [lb]
V = volume, units typically [m³] or [ft³]

Tabulated values and density units conversion are given below the figures.

See Density and specific weight of acetone, ammonia, argon, benzene, butane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ethane, ethanol, ethylene, helium, hydrogen, methane, methanol, nitrogen, oxygen, pentane, propane, toluene and water, as well as Density of crude oil, Density of fuel oils, Density of lubricating oil and Density of jet fuel as function of temperature.

Examples

The density of air can be calculated as

ρ = 1.325 p_{in Hg} / T_R

= 2.7 p_psia / T_R

= 2.7 (p_psig + 14.7) / (T_F + 459.7) (1)

where

ρ = density (lb/ft³)

p_{in Hg}= absolute pressure (inches Hg)

T_R= absolute temperature (Rankine)

p_psia= absolute pressure (psia)

p_psig= gage pressure (psig)

T_F= temperature (^oF)

Example - Weight of Air

The density of air at pressure 29.92 inches Hg at 100 degrees F can be calculated as

ρ = 1.325 (29.92 inches Hg) / ((100 ^oF) + 459.7)

= 0.0708 lb/ft³

The weight of 10 ft³ air can be calculated as

W = (10 ft³) (0.071 lb/ft³)

= 0.708 lb

Air - Density vs. Pressure and Temperatures
