TM 38-260
surfaces of stored items, the items shall be shrouded. Shrouds may be fabricated from flexible, waterproof barrier
material conforming to PPP-B-1055, class E or heavier, or plastic sheet and strip, thin gauge polyethylene conforming to
L-P-378, class I, type II, as outlined in chapter 4. The shroud should be constructed in such a fashion that it extends to a
level 6 inches (102 mm to 152 mm) from the top of the skid or dunnage. This will allow free circulation of air over and
around the stored equipment. To prevent an excessive build up of condensation within shrouds, it is recommended that
vertical surfaces of the shrouds, have 3 inch (76 mm) diameter (tip to tip) half moon slits to allow breathing. The spacing
of the splits should be one slit to each 3 foot (914 mm) width of the vertical surface of shroud. They should be located on
the vertical surface in a horizontal plane, one-third of the distance (top to bottom) from the top of the shroud. All slits
shall have the tips pointing up to prevent excessive moisture from entering the shroud.
e. Identification. Identification markings such as bar codes, labels, tags, and marking boards shall be affixed to the
exterior of the shrouded item in the most conspicuous location.  The identification markings shall contain all the
necessary information to identify the stored equipment without disrupting the shroud.

Locating
a. General. The accelerated selection of IPE for shipment, efficient handling of receipts, and maximum utilization
of storage space are contingent upon the effective use of an adequate locator system. The locator system should
contain only as much information as is necessary to locate the stored item with a minimum of time and effort.
b. System. A good locator system will contain the current location for each stored item of equipment.
(1)  The record card should contain, as a minimum, the identification number (ID), plant equipment code (PEC),
nomenclature, plant equipment package (PEP) number, if applicable and location of the stored item, plus any additional
information deemed necessary for administration by the storage activities.
(2)
All changes in the location of individual equipment shall be recorded immediately upon completion of the
move.
(3)
A locator system shall be maintained by the Storage/Maintenance activities.
Section II. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Maintenance
a. General. The surveillance and maintenance of IPE and OPE in storage apply not only to stored equipment but
also to the equipment used to maintain the specified storage conditions. Maintenance of equipment used to control the
humidity in a storage installation is important in the proper performance of such equipment and materially affects the
stored items. Theoretically, the material in dehumidified or other controlled storage requires little or no maintenance as
