The dew of Compressed air usually is concerned by us.
But we only can measure the dew of atmosphere pressure air.
So how the dew of atmosphere pressure air convert to Compressed air's? Are there some graphs or tables or formulas for it?
Thank you in advance.

If know the dew point at atmospheric, then you can use the following:

Y = (0.0002*X^3+0.0117*X^2+0.3296*X+4.4326)/(OP *14.7*2.03603*25.4)*10^6/21.1

With X = dew point in C and OP (Operating Pressure)in bar. This will give you the moisture content in lb/MMSCF.

There are plenty of threads dealing with dew points of compressed air. To mention just a few with useful information:

Thank you.
Is there any software that can calculate the dewpoint?
