NOTE the following Rating Standards:
Rating Standard Total Barometric Vapour Air Inlet
When estimating the power correction due to Pressure (kPa) Pressure Temperature
humidity, the relative humidity must be coupled with (kPa) (°C)
the AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE at which the ISO 14396: 2002 100 1 25
humidity is measured, and not the air inlet 80/1269/EEC 100 1 25
temperature which may be locally heated, to obtain 88/195/EEC 100 1 25
the vapour pressure. The effect of inlet air ISO 1585: 1992 100 1 25
temperature on power output must be considered ISO 2288: 1989 100 1 25
separately using diagram S8001. ISO 3046-1: 1995 100 1 25
When humidity is expressed in terms of vapour ISO 8665: 1994 100 1 25
pressure, the power correction can be read off from ISO 9249: 1989 100 1 25
