The formula is not from the page. The formula belongs to the ACGIH. I have re-written it, but I think It can be no-standard (no the same that the created by the standard body, this is, the ACGIH.
[edit] Fix or delete
If anybody is watching this, this article needs a major fixup or deletion.
In particular, I'd like to know:
- Where this was ever used.
- When it was used.
- Any other measurements used for a similar purpose.
- What units were used in this unit-dependent formula? Note in particular that as a general rule, multiplying temperatures only makes sense if you are using an absolute scale, either kelvins or degrees Rankine. But I suspect that this formula was used with either degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit, and it won't be comparable at all in the other scale.

Reply to Q4 This formula really is independent of units since the factors all add up to 1.
General There is no definition for wet bulb temperature as a measure of humidity given, and I'm not sure that it is identical with saturation temperature. I think we need this as it is widely used. --137.205.146.206 roger thorpe
