Moisture and pressure abatement are critical in engineering design. The Trade Risk Guaranty reported in 2016 that roughly 10-percent of all container shipment cargo is ruined due to moisture damage. As ocean-going container shipping is a 14-trillion-dollar industry, the financial losses are extreme. In 2008, moisture ingress into several sensors resulted in the $1.4 billion […]

Breather valves are rated for two different pressures: Cracking pressure and full-flow pressure. The difference between these two measurements is another significant source of misunderstanding on part of many design engineers.

What is Desiccant Equilibrium Capacity? Desiccant equilibrium capacity, or saturation is the point at which a desiccant can no longer adsorb water vapor from the air at a given relative humidity. Once a desiccant's equilibrium capacity has been achieved (the desiccant has saturated), all or most of its active pore sites are filled with water […]

You’ve developed a moisture management and monitoring system for your project but after a while, your humidity indicator card has turned from blue to pink. Or worse, it’s kind of blue and kind of pink… what do you do? Do you need to change desiccant? Replace the indicator card? Is everything ruined? To answer these […]
