After moisture or water vapor enters a sealed enclosure, it diffuses through the air inside, where it can later condense during temperature changes. Condensation is a common obstacle in designing sealed enclosures intended to house electronics or other moisture sensitive equipment. To make things worse, moisture will enter a sealed enclosure in four different ways.

Breather valves and immersion breathers both relieve pressure but operate differently and have different implications for moisture control. We'll look at the differences here and provide best practices for installation.

Rapid decompression can create dangerous pressure differentials in a fraction of a second. Such differentials cause sealed cargo containers to rupture or explode if the pressure is not quickly relieved and brought to a tolerable level.

Diurnal temperature-cycling is the fluctuation in temperature that occurs throughout a day; or, more specifically, throughout a 24-hour period. As the day wears on, temperatures rise steadily, beginning just after dawn, and then cool, starting in the late afternoon and continuing through the night.

KevLok Tie-Down Shelving pieces combine to create workstations and storage areas that safely secure equipment in place during transit over difficult terrain or through rough weather. Accordingly, KevLok shelving is a large benefit to any mobile setting, such as onboard ships, aircraft, or in military and law enforcement mobile command-center trailers and vehicles.

KEVLOK BRAND TIE DOWN STRAPS It is the fully-customizable nature of AGM Container’s KevLok brand boat tie-down straps that makes them the ideal securing solution for applications in marine environments. All AGM KevLok boat tie-down straps are custom-designed by the user in cooperation with our engineering department. As a result, each strap is uniquely suited […]

WHAT ARE DESICCANTS? Desiccants are compounds or agents, such as Montmorillonite Clay or Silica Gel, used in facilitating low-humidity environments by adsorbing moisture content from the air. Typically used in transport, storage, or maintenance of materials and products, desiccants are used to keep everything from gym shoes to military munitions dry. SO, WHAT DO I […]

HOW IS INDICATING SILICA GEL DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DESICCANT? Indicating silica gel is chemically treated to transition from one color to another as it adsorbs moisture and eventually saturates. This trait makes bulk silica gel ideal for removing moisture from air and gases. Indicating silica gel also provides a rapid detection method that enables users […]
