Note: These SI and I-P charts are based on the dry-air component of the moist-air mixture having a composition as described in the pertinent underlying research. (The relative molecular mass of dry air is 28.9645 kg/kmol except for charts SI-8 through SI-19, for which the molecular mass of dry air is 28.95849 kg/kmol.)
