Humidity Indicator Plugs

Humidity indicator plugs & desiccator plugs provided by James Dawson can detect anywhere from 5 to 95 percent relative humidity and are available in a range of sizes and configurations to meet your specific requirements. Industry applications include: military, radar and night vision instrumentation, aerospace, metals, transportation systems, hydraulic systems and electronic equipment.

Humidity indicator plugs are designed to indicate the relative humidity level within a sealed container without users having to open it. With humidity indicator plugs, users can visually inspect the humidity inside a sealed container without opening it.

Desiccator plugs both indicate and control humidity levels within the container.
