The internal diameter of the cap and the external diameter of the body are virtually equal. They are held together by a pair of circumferential grooves, that interlock when the filled body and cap are pressed together. Both non and self-indicating silica gels can be used to fill the capsule. Three standard sizes are available. These are size 1, size 00 and size 000.
All figures are approximate.
Capsilgels breathe and adsorb moisture in the same way as silica gel sachets do. They are ideal for use in situations where the physical space available to site a desiccant is restricted, such as in small spaces inside moisture sensitive scientific instruments or other electronic assemblies. Carefully calculated, the use of silica gel sachets will keep the RH below this level. We offer two forms of indicators. The paper will change colour dependent on the RH level.
