Utilizing Temperature and Humidity Sensors to Understand the Environmental Conditions of Export Packaging, and Utilizing this Data in Developing Corrosion Prevention Strategies

摘要

Understanding environmental conditions experienced during shipping (both domestic and export) and/or storage is critical when determining the most effective corrosion control system for metal components. Temperature and humidity sensors were used to help understand the conditions within industrial packaging applications, during different overseas shipping routes, and during subsequent warehouse storage. The effect of secondary packaging (i.e. polyethylene film) on temperature and humidity within a package was also evaluated. The scope of this paper is to compile and analyze the data, and utilizing it to help develop the best corrosion prevention strategies.
