How long does it take nylon to become conditioned?
The rate of moisture uptake is dependent upon temperature and humidity. Time to equilibrium also depends upon part thickness. A part exposed to the standard laboratory atmosphere of 73 °F (23 °C) and 50 % relative humidity can take months to reach equilibrium. Under tropical climate conditions of 104 °F (40 °C) and 95 % humidity, it could take a few days or weeks. In boiling water, time is measured in hours or minutes.
