How do you mesure superheat?

Superheat is measured by calculating the temperature of the refrigerant vapor above its saturation temperature at a given pressure. This is done using a pressure-temperature chart for the specific refrigerant being used. The difference between the actual vapor temperature and the saturation temperature at that pressure is the superheat.
