Comprehensive moisture and chemical exposure testing for polymers, metals, and electronics. Evaluate hydrolysis, delamination, and synergistic degradation under high humidity and chemical stress.
From concrete testing methods to soil and aggregate equipment, our range of moisture testing tools are custom-built to help you get the job done right first time, every single time.
Care must be taken to pick the proper exposure methodology to ensure that the test results are as useful as possible. This paper will outline some of the more significant issues including:
Laboratory methods for moisture content testing typically measure all forms of water present in a sample, while rapid testing or online testing in industrial production processes generally assess only the free water or adsorbed water.
Type I - Steady-state humidity (non-condensing): This test is the most common method for simulating prolonged exposure to high humidity without condensation. The sample is first pre-conditioned in a dry oven at 50 degrees for 24 hours to remove any remaining moisture.
Moisture exposure can affect electronic components by causing corrosion, insulation breakdown, or circuit damage. Controlled humidity testing helps identify these risks before products are used in real environments.
