7.2.1. Air Quality Requirements

The air must be free of:

  • corrosive dust and/or corrosive contaminants
  • conductive dust or conductive particles (such as zinc whiskers)

Airborne residual dust must have a deliquescent point* less than 60% relative humidity. (*The relative humidity at which crystalline materials begin adsorbing large quantities of water from the atmosphere.)

Gaseous corrosion level in terms of (in Angstrom) as per ISA:

  • Copper reactivity rate must be less than 300 Å/month, class G1(ANSI/ISA71.04-1985).
  • Silver reactivity rate must be less than 200 Å/month (AHSRAE TC9.9).
