Protection by Adjustment of Environment

Reduction of corrosion by a change of environment should be considered, provided the design is suitable, and this can be achieved without excessive cost by any one, or several, of the following methods  

A typical basic appreciation of ventilation, dehumidification, and air conditioning for change of 

Desiccating agents used in corrosion prevention must he cheap, easy to handle, and non-corrosive. Easy access for inspection and replacement must he provided and eventually provision for regeneration in situ should be made. 

A typical basic appreciation of inhibitors for the purpose of change of environment is as follows  

The combined effect of inhibitors and cathodic protection is far greater than the individual effect of each method separately. Avoid packaging materials containing soluble salts or acids in significant quantities or emitting corrosive vapors. Prevent entrapment of gaseous contaminants carried by air between the metallic components and the packaging materials.
