Entrained moisture

Entrained moisture

Entrained moisture

(OP)
I have a question about entrained moisture.  I have a problem that I can not deliver more than 10 grain/lb of entrained moisture to a system.  Could someone help me understand what 10 grain/lb represents.  I have never heard that type of measurement used.  Thanks for the help.

RE: Entrained moisture

A grain is a unit of mass, in the UK and USA, common to the avoirdupois, troy, and apothecaries' systems equal to 1/7000 of a pound (=64.79891 mg). It is abbreviated gr.

There are psychrometric charts, for example, Perry VI, Fig. 12-2, which give the moisture content in both scales gr/lb, and lb/lb of dry air.

10 gr/lb dry air would be equal to 0.00143 lb/lb dry air.

Note the difference with gram, which is abbreviated either g or gm.
