What Is the Density of Air Equation?

You can calculate the air density using the following equation:

ρ = [(Pd / (Rd * T)) + (Pv / (Rv * T))]

Where:

Pd = Pressure of dry air
Pv = Water vapor pressure
T = Temperature in Kelvins
Rd = Specific gas constant for dry air [287.058 J/(kg·K)]
Rv = Specific gas constant for water [461.495 J/(kg·K)]

If we set the temperature at 15 °C & pressure at 1013.25 hPa, the air density will be 1.225 kg/(m^3). At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is maximized due to high air pressure. Hence the air is denser at sea level and we can figure this out by the air density calculator. The density of the air is denoted by the Greek letter Rho (ρ) and it is the measure of the mass per unit volume and this is why we represent the density of air in kg m3 or g/m3.

How To Calculate Air Density?

If you are thinking about how to calculate density of air, then you need some basic weather parameters like pressure and temperature.

Air Pressure:

Air pressure is a force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. The air pressure is commonly measured with a barometer or in Pascals. Air pressure:

The standard SI unit of pressure is Pascal and the other units are expressed as follows:

Pascals (Pa)
Standard Atmospheres (ATM)
Tor (Torr)
bar (bar)
Pounds per Square Inch (psi or lb/in2)
Technical Atmosphere (at or kgf/cm2)
Barad (Ba)
Pièze (ps)

Air Temperature:

The basic units of temperature are Kelvin (K), centigrade or Celsius (C), and Fahrenheit (F). You need to convert the Fahrenheit to Celsius and Kelvin to calculate air density. Air Temperature:

Dew Point:

The dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor starts to condense. You can compute the dew point manually or our air density calculator is able to use one of these values to compute the other.

Density of Air Lb/Ft3 of Pressure:

Here, you can find the density of air in lb/ft3.

Density of air	Pressure	Density of air lb/ft3
Density of air at 15 C	1 Pascal	0.00000075474
Density of air at 20 C	1 Pascal	0.00000074187
Density of air at 22 C	1 Pascal	0.00000073684
Density of air at 25 C	1 Pascal	0.00000072943
Density of air at 40 C	1 Pascal	0.00000069449

We can calculate the air-density in various units like [lbm/ft3], [sl/ft3*10-3] , [lbm/gal(US liq)], [kg/m3]. Now if you think about how to calculate the density of air in the above-mentioned units then the following table can be of great help. In this table, we have distinguished the specific weight and thermal expansion coefficient at various temperatures.
