However, is:
[ W = 0.62198 \cdot \fracp_wp - p_w ]
After reviewing the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals (I-P units), I can confirm that is the fundamental relationship used to calculate humidity ratio (( W )) from relative humidity (( \phi )) and barometric pressure (( p )): 2009 ashrae hof chapter 4 equation 48 -pg 4.21--
[ W = \frac0.62198 \cdot \phi \cdot p_wsp - \phi \cdot p_ws ] However, is: [ W = 0
