Can anyone show me how to calculate the size of the desiccant bag that
     is required when resealing components into a bag?

     Presently we receive Moisture Sensitive components sealed in a static
     sensitive bag. We will open the bag and place the SMD parts on the
     board. After the build these components will be sent to a nitrogen
     cabinet where they get lost and forgotten. This area creates a lot of
     scrap.

     We have the vacuum sealer that is gathering dust and needs to be
     installed.

     I have found a supplier of the desiccant and the Humidity Indicators.

     My goal is to set a procedure for returning these components back to
     the store room.

     Thank you
     Fred
