A closely related term is mixing ratio, which is the mass of water vapor per unit mass of dry air. The mixing ratio is, in a sense, a recipe for an admixture of water vapor and dry air. A value of 12 grams per kilogram would entail a total of 1012 grams for the mixture. For most conditions, the specific humidity and the mixing ratio differ insignificantly. 4, record 1, English, - specific%20humidity

Ne pas confondre avec le rapport de mélange (grammes de vapeur par kilogramme d'air sec) qui est une approximation de l'humidité spécifique; ces deux notions sont néanmoins souvent confondues dans la pratique parce que la différence entre ces deux mesures est souvent inférieure aux simples erreurs dues à la manipulation des instruments qui servent à les mesurer. 5, record 1, French, - humidit%C3%A9%20sp%C3%A9cifique

The moisture content of wheat is an indication of its milling value. The drier the wheat, the greater the yield of flour (usually calculated on a constant moisture basis of 14%). Moisture content must be known to determine the amount of water that must be added during the tempering process. A high moisture content may also mean that the wheat should be turned periodically if extended storage is contemplated. 3, record 4, English, - moisture%20content

La teneur en eau d'un blé est un indice de sa valeur meunière. Le rendement en farine (généralement établi sur une base constante de 14% d'humidité) est d'autant plus grand que le blé est plus sec. On doit connaître la teneur en eau pour déterminer la quantité d'eau à ajouter lors du conditionnement. Une forte teneur en eau peut également signifier que le blé devrait être recyclé périodiquement si sa conservation doit se prolonger. 4, record 4, French, - teneur%20en%20eau
