How will we define moisture content in a gas stream except air?

You can define in terms of ppm or mol % on a wet basis. But im sensing this might not be all you are asking so perhaps you can elaborate on your situation too?

The moisture in the natural gas is measured by the unit Lbs (H2O)/MMSCF (Gas).

You can also define the water content in any gas by its "dew point".  Personally, I don't favor this method, but it is used world-wide.  I prefer the direct and absolute measuring system that Shan has mentioned.  It is simpler, much more direct and practical.

 

The dew point measurement requires you to identify the conditions of the dew point - the pressure (and the fact that other condensables are not present at the dew point).
