ABSTRACT:
An irreversible humidity exposure dose indicator device, including a housing sealed at a first end thereof and adapted at a second end thereof to admit ambient gas ingress into an interior volume containing chromogenic material. The chromogenic material in contact with water irreversibly absorbs such water to produce a change whose extent is correlative of cumulative exposure of the device to humidity. The device may be configured as an indicator card including an intermediate permeable membrane coated on a first side thereof with a layer of a deliquescent solid and being in contact on a second side thereof with a layer containing a reactive indicator, with a water-permeable layer adjacent to the layer containing the deliquescent coating, enclosed within a water-impermeable transparent enclosure. The device can include an opening to the permeable layer that is shielded by a removable member that is removed to initiate the dosimetric process, and permit water vapor to diffuse through the opening and liquefy the deliquescent material, so that the liquid permeates through the membrane and a visible indication of the location of the wet front is seen as the water contacts the chromogenic material. A scale can be printed on the exterior of the enclosure to permit a viewer to see the progress of the indication, e. g. of a color front.
