Every school envisions to create a vibrant and dynamic learning campus for all students. In developing various programmes for both instructional and non-instructional aspects, schools have to possess a plethora of learning aids, equipment and materials. The proper care, storage and handling of this equipment will result in extended service lifespan, minimize replacements and overall savings for the school.
- Scientific & Laboratory Equipment
Humidity in excess of 60% RH is a hotbed for bacterial & fungal growth and its especially damaging to optical components. Condensation as a result of high humidity causes corrosion to metals and metallic parts. Common lab equipment like Microscopes, Magnifiers, Balances, Lab tools, Test strips & kits etc should rightly be stored in a controlled RH of 35~45%.
[*]Audio-Visual /Photography Equipment
Schools allocate a large proportion of their budgets on Audio/Visual necessities hence its important to practice the correct way of storing and handling of such equipment.
Moisture can cause electrical problems, oxidize metal, promote fungus growth, and cause leather to deteriorate. High quality microphones (corded or wireless) are very sensitive to moisture and humidity. Besides the threat of corrosion to the metallic parts due to humidity exposure, once moisture gets captured in the microphone element, it could turn “deaf”.
High humidity is equally damaging to many graphic and photographic materials.
When not in use, all photographic equipment should be kept dry and dust-free. Fungus growth usually associated with warm, humid conditions can damage lenses, paper products, projection screens, slides, films and other materials.
Electronic flash units and batteries kept in dry conditions are less likely to leak.
- IT/Data Storage/Media
The substrate that makes up most of the disc is a polymer material that is vulnerable to moisture. Data can be unreadable, image and sound quality can be lost due to prolonged exposure to high humidity. Molds can grow on any organic substance particularly if moisture problem remains undiscovered and unresolved.
[*]Musical Instruments
Musical instruments are made of metal, wood, leather, plastics, fabrics, even paper. Additionally, there are the instrument coatings, both natural and synthetic. Instruments made of one primary material, such as brass for trumpets or wood for violins are easier to maintain. Most instruments, however, have components of several different materials. Conservators call items made of multiple materials composite objects. The care of these items is much more difficult.
The most prevalent problem experienced by metal components of musical instruments is corrosion. Wood that are found in most instruments – from drum bodies and sticks to the violin and other stringed instruments respond to high humidity and moisture by expanding thus compromising the integrity of their tonal qualities.
