Dew Point Table
Technical Bulletin No. 10

To determine the Dew Point from the charts below, find the temperature of the air in question on the left side of the table. Next, locate the relative humidity of the air in question across the top of the table. The intersection of these two numbers in the matrix identifies the temperature at which Dew Point is reached.

When air comes in contact with a surface that is at or below its Dew Point temperature, condensation will form on that surface.

Example:

If the temperature in a facility is 75° F (24° C) and the relative humidity is 35%, the intersection of the two shows that the Dew Point is reached at a temperature of 45° F (7° C), or below. This means that moisture vapor in the 75° F / 35% RH air will condense on any surface that is at or below the Dew Point temperature of 45° F.

This example could represent the inside of a building that is 75° F and 35% RH during the day. At night the outside temperature drops. It is not likely that the inside air of the building will cool from 75° F to 45° F, but it is quite possible that the framing and any exposed exterior surfaces will reach the Dew Point temperatures, creating condensation.

Example:

Read the air temperature in the left hand column and the humidity at the top of the chart. If the temperature of the storage unit is 75°F (24° C) and the relative humidity is 35%, the intersection of the two shows the dew point of the area to be 45°F (7°C). If the metal coming in is below 45°F (7°C), water will condense on the metal.
