What does ASVP mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Air Saturated Vapour Pressure (ASVP) is a term used to describe the vapour pressure related to air saturation. It reflects the maximum amount of water vapour that can exist in the atmosphere at any given time.

ASVP can be calculated using meteorological data such as temperature and relative humidity. By combining these data points with certain equations and values, a calculation of the amount of saturated vapour pressure in the atmosphere can be determined.

ASVP has many practical uses in engineering, agriculture, meteorology and other fields. For example, it can be used to measure or predict atmospheric moisture content such as dewpoint or fog formation potential. It can also be used to calculate evaporation rates from soils or crop surfaces, or when calculating sensible heat fluxes.

Temperature plays a key role in determining air saturation levels and ultimately affects how much water vapour is present in the atmosphere at any given time. As temperature increases, so does the amount of water vapour that can exist in the atmosphere — meaning that ASVP is higher on warmer days than on cooler days due to increased capacity for holding moisture.

Yes, there are numerous international standards associated with measuring and reporting ASVP figures including ISO 5167-2 for liquid flow rate measurements and ASTM D 89-00 for water absorption testing on granular material samples.
