Humidity in a constant damp heat tester plays a crucial role in determining the environmental conditions that products are exposed to. The impact of atmospheric humidity on products is significant, with high humidity being the most damaging. Even low humidity or alternating wet and dry conditions can have negative effects on product quality and performance.
Prolonged exposure to high humidity can lead to or accelerate metal corrosion, mechanical damage, and degradation of items like food, fruits, and textiles, causing mold growth. Electrical insulation properties may decrease, and materials that absorb moisture may deteriorate faster. In some cases, high humidity can promote mold development. Additionally, certain products may experience cracking, embrittlement, chalking, or static electricity, all of which can affect their functionality and overall quality.
The main effects of humidity on products include:
1. High humidity can cause condensation of water vapor, reducing the resistance and thermal performance of insulating materials, leading to electrical short circuits and decreased performance of electronic components. It may also reduce the transmission efficiency of glass or plastic optical components and cause material dissolution in sealed equipment.
2. Moisture absorption by materials can lead to expansion, deformation, and a reduction in physical and mechanical properties. This may result in structural damage, changes in electrical properties, and a decrease in packaging strength.
3. High humidity accelerates metal oxidation and corrosion, contaminates lubricants, causes moving parts to jam, weakens structural strength, increases surface resistance, and leads to poor electrical contact.
4. Humidity can speed up chemical or electrochemical reactions, damaging organic coatings and reducing the physical and chemical properties of materials, while also accelerating metal corrosion.
5. Low humidity can cause materials to lose moisture, making wood, leather, and fabric brittle or powdery. It can also increase static electricity generation, accelerate cracking in certain equipment, and degrade pyrotechnic performance.
6. Low humidity can trigger capillary "breathing," increasing the rate at which materials absorb moisture.
