PURPOSE

This test is intended to evaluate in an accelerated manner, theresistance of component parts to deterioration resulting from highhumidity and heat conditions typical of tropical environments. Thistest differs from the steady-state humidity test (Method i),deriving added effectiveness from temperature cycling. Thisprovides alternate periods of condensation and drying essential tothe development of corrosion process, and in addition produces a”breathing” of moisture vapor into partially-sealed containers. Thetest provides a time during which optional low temperature orvibration subcycles may be inserted for revealing the otherwiseundiscernible evidences of deterioration.
