What is dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature?

What is dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature?


Dry bulb is the temperature of ambient air measured by thermometer. It is called “Dry bulb temperature” because the temperature shown by thermometer is not affected by the moisture content of the air.

The Wet Bulb temperature is the temperature of adiabatic saturation. This is the temperature indicated by a moistened thermometer bulb exposed to the air flow.


Wet Bulb temperature can be measured by using a thermometer with the bulb wrapped in wet muslin. The adiabatic evaporation of water from the thermometer and the cooling effect is indicated by a “wet bulb temperature” lower than the “dry bulb temperature” in the air.
