Psychrometry is a branch of engineering that studies the
thermodynamical and physical properties of gases or vapours. A
basic psychrometry is capable of measuring Dry Bulb temperature and
wet bulb temperatures. We obtain different properties of vapours or
gases by using psychrometry charts.
Psychrometry is a word derived from Greek.
Psuchron which means cold and
Metron which refers to the means of measurement.
As a whole, psychrometry means a means of measuring
temperatures.
By using this means of measurement we measure all the required
properties of a system. For example, weather report is done by
using psychrometry.
