What is the optimal air humidity for storing computer hardware?

Question

Do it yourself

Good evening!

Tell me, what air humidity is considered optimal for storing any computer hardware? (monitors, sistemnik, komplektuha and so forth.)?

Perhaps there are some standards for this matter, or at least recommendations from manufacturers?

Answer 1

I recommend 40%-50%. Do not forget about the temperature (it affects no less than humidity). Plus, you need a normally calibrated hygrometer (by the way, there are usb hygrometers, but I won’t tell you how they are in quality).

Answer 2

This is what GOST GOST 21552-84 says “SVT. General technical requirements, acceptance, test methods, marking, packaging, transportation and storage ":
" SVT is stored in a package in heated rooms at the manufacturer's and consumer's premises at an air temperature of 5 to 40 ° C and a relative air humidity of not more than 80%. It is allowed to store under more stringent conditions if conservation has been carried out in accordance with the specified conditions.
In the premises for storing SVT, there should be no aggressive impurities (vapors of acids, alkalis) that cause corrosion.

Answer 3

I have been researching this issue for a long time, the optimal humidity is 40-60 percent, if they say less, a lot of static accumulates, more something can rust or condensate can form.
