Announcing Reets Drying Academy's New iPhone/iPod touch/iPad App: ReetsDryCalc - Evaporation Potential Calculator

Available Now on the iTunes App Store

Our Evaporation Potential (EP) and Psychrometric Calculator is designed to help guide you through the drying process. To use the calculator simply enter Air Temperature and Relative Humidity using the picker wheels and it will calculate GPP, Dew Point, and Air Vapor Pressure. In addition if you enter the Surface Temperature of wet surfaces this calculator figures EP which will help you to understand whether not the surface is going to evaporate or not. That combined with a good understanding of drying science will help you to accurately assess your drying environment. EP is the most powerful tool available to water damage technicians today.

Our Evaporation Potential Minimum Surface Temperature Calculator is an industry first. This takes drying and EP from another angle.

First, set your EP goal on the wheel. If you're using conventional drying equipment, a 1.5 of EP goal would be a great place to start. If you're using TES, set a 3.5 EP goal for regional containment or a 7.0 EP goal for direct containment.

Next use the corresponding wheels to set the current air temperature and relative humidity in your drying environment. The calculator will then give you the minimum surface temperature needed to achieve your EP goal.

Once you know the minimum surface temperature needed to achieve your EP goal then scan all wet surfaces looking for temperatures that fall below that temperature.  Improve the drying environment by either heating the surfaces, drying the air or adding more air flow to achieve and exceed your EP goal.

Here's what one user of ReetsDryCalc had to say:

"This is exactly what I need. The other apps don't figure vapor pressure or help with evaporation. This makes figuring psychrometry easy."
