Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide moisture measuring systems and methods. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a sealable compartment is used in which a specimen containing liquid can be inserted, such that all of the specimen is contained within the compartment. The relative humidity in the compartment is measured over a duration of time, which can be used to calculate the amount of liquid leaked by the specimen. Embodiments of the present invention can be utilized, for example, to calculate the leakage rate of water-carrying hardware of a cooling system, without having to create a membrane or other isolated sample of materials.
