HUMIDITY AS A FACTOR IN FUZE DESIGN AND EVALUATION

Abstract

Fuzes which cannot be inspected or serviced during storage or prior to use must be designed to withstand the deteriorating effects of humidity. Humidity in the atmosphere is a slow but persistent deteriorating force on corrodible and organic materials. Some methods of design to avoid problems and several frequently used tests for humidity effects are suggested.
