Air - Density vs. Pressure and Temperature

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.

Examples

The density of air can be calculated 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)

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
