1. What is Relative Humidity?
Simply stated, Relative Humidity (RH) is the amount of water vapor present in the air expressed as a percentage of the amount of water vapor needed to saturate the air at the same temperature.It is a way of converting the actual amount of moisture in the air into a...
2. Why Does Relative Humidity Matter?
Now that we know what Relative Humidity is, why is it important to your valuables?To begin with, any given environment wants to achieve equilibrium. When moisture is added to the environment, for example by placing a container of water in it, the moisture over time...
3. Why is Temperature Important?
Temperature by itself is often an important factor in protecting your valuables. Temperature directly affects the speed of atoms! The warmer your object gets, the faster the atoms move. This increase in movement, and therefore temperature, whether over an extended...
4. Why are there G’s in my Impact Data?
Simply put, because of gravity.The sensor measures impacts based on the amount of acceleration applied to your valuable. When your object come into contact with another object, a shock wave is sent through it triggering an impact reading. The intensity of the shock...
5. What is Calibration?
Calibration is one of the primary processes used to maintain the accuracy of any device, instrument or piece of equipment that generates a measurement. Calibration is the process of configuring an device to provide a result for a sample within an acceptable...
6. Why is Calibration Important?
As described above, calibration defines the accuracy and quality of measurements recorded using a piece of equipment. Over time there is a tendency for results and accuracy to ‘drift’ when using particular technologies or measuring particular parameters such as...
