APPENDIX A
CALCULATION FORMULAS
This Appendix contains the formulas used for the calculated output
quantities.
The DMT340 series transmitters measure relative humidity and
temperature. From these values dewpoint, mixing ratio, absolute
humidity and enthalpy in normal pressure are calculated using the
following equations:
