Top 5 Applications of Temperature Data Loggers

Temperature data loggers are portable measurement devices that can autonomously record temperature over a definite time. A temperature data logger is also known as a temperature monitor. It automatically collects, monitors, and stores the information so that it can be reported on a later date. They can be directly attached to a product inside the refrigerated truck, and used for observing the temperature of goods being shipped. Here are the top 5 industrial applications of temperature data loggers: 1.       Environmental monitoring Autonomous data loggers can be taken to diverse locations that cannot easily support fixed temperature monitoring equipment. These might include mountains, deserts, jungles, mines, ice flows, caves, etc. Portable data loggers are also used in industry and laboratory situations where stand-alone recording is desired. 2.       Epoxy, Chemical, and Varnish Transportation Chemicals, epoxy, and varni...

A Complete Guide to Humidity Indicator Cards

Humidity in the air can wreak havoc on packed materials, causing corrosion and growth of mold. With temperature changes, condensation can be a major problem as well. While you can place a desiccant in the packaging to absorb moisture for a while, but desiccants eventually lose their effectiveness and need replacing. By knowing the level of humidity in a transit case or shipping container, you can take action before any damage occurs. This is where humidity indicator cards come into play. What are Humidity Indicator Cards? Humidity indicator cards are cards that are impregnated with materials that change color when indicated relative humidity is exceeded. Usually, it is a blotting paper that has been impregnated with cobalt (II) chloride base. Less toxic alternatives available in the market include other chemicals such as cobalt-free chloride base and special plastic films. Humidity indicators are a relatively inexpensive way to indicate humidity inside any sealed packag...
