The applicability of psychrometric charts is normally limited by their dependence on particular air pressures. This Note demonstrates a method of allowing for pressure variation when using a standard psychrometric chart. Despite the approximations involved, good accuracy is obtained for pressures from 70 to 110 kPa.
