   Conditioning
   When leather is dried after retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring the fibres tend to stick together and the leather is hard. The fibres are separated and the leather softened by staking. Staking is best done at about 18% humidity and so a little humidity has to be put into the dry leather. This is most commonly done by a water spray and then piling the leather long enough for the moisture to even out. Adjusting the moisture content before staking in this way is called conditioning.

    Conditioning
    Vacuum term. The process of running voltage in a septa or separator at a high level over a period of time to clean up the vacuum. After a high voltage beamline device such as a Septa or Separator is baked out it is then run at a high voltage to burn off any oils, dust, or sharp edges that the bakeout didn't get. The voltage is turned on at a low level and slowly raised over time to avoid sparking in the device which can spoil vacuum. By burning off these things the ability of the device to pump down to operating vacuum is greatly improved.
