LU-8161 What are the differences between one-sided and enclosed condensation?

Condensation is an excellent way to simulate the moisture attack that materials experience outdoors. High-humidity condensing environments can be generated in QCT, QUV, Q-SUN and Q-FOG testers. However, not all condensation testing is the same. There is a fundamental difference between one-sided condensation and enclosed (also referred to as “two-sided”) condensation. In this Technical Article, we will look at the different mechanisms between these two types of test architectures. We will also look at some results between the two demonstrating that the one-sided style typically results in a more aggressive test.
