Sweat damage in a hatch full of canned goods in cartons will occur when which condition exists?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo sweat vs. ship sweat – understand the difference and when each occurs • Relationship between dew point, air temperature, and surface (cargo) temperature • When condensation forms on cargo packed in cartons or cans

💭 Think About

• Is condensation more likely when warm, moist air contacts a colder surface, or when cold air contacts a warmer surface? Think of what happens to a cold soda can taken out of the fridge into a warm room. • How does dew point compare to the temperature of the cargo when moisture starts to appear on that cargo’s surface? • Which option describes conditions that would cause water droplets to form on the cargo, not just in the air?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answers talk about dew point vs cargo temperature rather than just air vs cargo temperature. • Recall that condensation happens when a surface temperature falls below the dew point of the surrounding air. • Check which choice correctly matches the condition for water forming on the cargo surface, leading to sweat damage in cartons.
