Density of Air1
For the temperature t [in °C] and the pressure p [in mbar or hPa] the density ρ of air [in g/cm3] can be
calculated by the following formula (given an air humidity of 50 %):
The numbers are valid for a CO2 content in air of 0.03 % by volume; the numbers change by ±1/19000 for
every change in CO2 volume content of ±0.0001.
Composition of dry air [in v/v]:
78.110 % N2 / 20.938 % O2 / 0.916 % Ar / 0.033 % CO2 / 0.002 % Ne
