Hi Steve,
You may find that the low humidity will lead to a significant risk of
ESD damage to your parts, as well as rather uncomfortable working
conditions for your people.
Richard L. Shook and co-workers published an excellent paper on
Moisture Absorption/desorption rates at last years ECTC:
Richard L. Shook et al: Diffusion Model to derate Moisture Sensitive Surface
Mount ICs for Factory Use Conditions, pp440 - 449; 45th Electronics Components
& Technology Conference, Las Vegas, 1995.
His data is particularly valuable (and re-assuring)for operations in
which a bag is opened and closed daily, in which an effective dessicant
is included.
I hope that this helps you.
Tom Moore,
