Standard Dry Air

Standard Dry Air is a standard gas composition for dry air, intended to represent the bulk average air composition encountered at or around sea level. Despite its intent of being near sea level, the composition omits water vapour entirely, since the humidity and the temperature will determine the amount of water vapour that can be present in air. This standard is used in flow measurement calculations.
