Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
The following table defines the limitations that help avoid any equipment damage or failure from particulates and gaseous contamination. If the levels of particulates or gaseous pollution exceed the specified limitations and result in equipment damage or failure, you may need to rectify the environmental conditions. Re-mediation of environmental conditions is the responsibility of the customer.

conductive particles.
|
| Corrosive dust |
|
| Gaseous contamination | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Copper coupon corrosion rate | <300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-1985 |
| Silver coupon corrosion rate | <200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9 |
- NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
