Object 1 : Optical Equipment | Existing Problem | How to prevent the damage? |
- Photo/Video cameras
- Telescope
- Microscope
- Projector
- Gastroscope
- Endoscope
- Night vision goggles
- Theodolite
- Spectrometer
- Optical measuring instruments
| - Professional optical equipment are moisture sensitive. Improper storage will cause moisture damage directly influencing the measurement results.
- The surface coating of the lenses are ideal conditions for mold-growth.
| Store optical lenses away from moist environment. Storage between 40-50% RH will allow these equipment optimal performance.
|
Object 2 : Precision Instrument | Existing Problem | How to prevent the damage? |
- Precision Instruments/Equipment
- Automated production
- High-tech weapons
- Mold template/molding/cast molding/injection molding
- PCB(printed circuit boards)
| - Precision instruments and equipment generate and/or detects precious signal. Any small or trace amounts of humidity will cause various types of problems.
| Store precision instruments in a controlled humidity environment. Best conditions for precision instruments should be stored between 30-40% RH. |
Object 3 : Document / Records | Existing Problem | How to prevent the damage? |
- Important/Historical Documents
- National Security Confidential Files
- Precious Audio and Video Recordings
- LTOs
| - Documents, films, records, etc. will be destroyed under high humidity. Humidity will cause rotting, warping and other qualitative changes.
| Maintain records and documents in a moisture controlled environment between 40-50% RH to allow its longevity and historical value. |
Object 4 : Heritage Collection | Existing Problem | How to prevent the damage? |
- Heritage/Cultural Collections
- Historical data
- Personal/Private Collections
- National treasures
| - Heritage collections are susceptible to destruction in high humidity environment. Adhesions, discoloration, deterioration, aging, oxidation, rusting, and corrosion all could occur in moist environments.
| The recommended storage environment will change depending on the material of the stored object. |
Object 5 : R&D/QC Process | Existing Problem | How to prevent the damage? |
- Clothing (Top wear, Outwear)
- Battery
- Quilt
- Sports Equipment (Baseball Glove, Golf Glove)
- Bicycle
- Pet food
| - As these products are stored in moist environments, common problems such as adhesion's, discoloration, metamorphism, aging, oxidation, rusting, and corrosion all could occur, affecting the quality of the delivered product.
| The recommended storage environment will change depending on the material of the object. |
