The desiccant calculation chart below is specifically for
estimating how much clay or silica gel desiccant you
need. This does not apply to molecular sieve desiccant.
Please note that a unit of desiccant refers to its drying
capacity, not its volume. A unit (approximately one
ounce) is the amount of desiccant that will absorb at
least three grams of water vapor at 20% relative
humidity and at least six grams of water vapor at 40%
relative humidity at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C).

2. We supply desiccant bags, pouches, and packets ranging in size from 1/6 unit all the way up
to 80 unit. Order by the pail or by the drum. We can even accommodate orders for bulk
