Abstract

The magnetic tape cartridge includes a magnetic tape that is accommodated in the magnetic tape cartridge while being wound around a reel hub. A water absorption amount of the magnetic tape measured after the magnetic tape cartridge is stored in a storage environment of a temperature of 32° C. and a relative humidity of 80% for 10 days is more than 0.30 g as a value in terms of a length of the magnetic tape of 1000 m, and the water absorption amount is a value measured in a measurement environment with a temperature of 21° C. and a relative humidity of 50% within 1 hour after the storage.

Claims (34)

1. A magnetic tape cartridge comprising:

a magnetic tape that is accommodated in the magnetic tape cartridge while being wound around a reel hub,

wherein a water absorption amount of the magnetic tape measured after the magnetic tape cartridge is stored in a storage environment with a temperature of 32° C. and a relative humidity of 80% for 10 days is more than 0.30 g and 0.60 g or less as a value in terms of a length of the magnetic tape of 1000 m,

the water absorption amount is a value measured in a measurement environment with a temperature of 21° C. and a relative humidity of 50% within 1 hour after the storage,

the magnetic tape comprises a non-magnetic support having a moisture content of more than 0.80% and 3.00% or less; and

the edge weave amount of the tape edge on at least one side of the magnetic tape is 1.5 μm or more and 3.0 μm or less.

2. The magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 1 ,

wherein the water absorption amount is more than 0.30 g and 0.50 g or less.

3. The magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 1 ,

wherein the magnetic tape has a non-magnetic support and a magnetic layer including a ferromagnetic powder, and

the non-magnetic support is a polyester support.

4. The magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 3 ,

wherein the magnetic tape further has a non-magnetic layer including a non-magnetic powder between the non-magnetic support and the magnetic layer.

5. The magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 3 ,

wherein the magnetic tape further has a back coating layer including a non-magnetic powder on a surface side of the non-magnetic support opposite to a surface side having the magnetic layer.

6. The magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 1 ,

wherein a tape thickness of the magnetic tape is 5.6 μm or less.

7. The magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 1 ,

wherein a tape thickness of the magnetic tape is 5.3 μm or less.

8. A magnetic tape apparatus comprising:

the magnetic tape cartridge according to claim 1 .

9. The magnetic tape apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the water absorption amount is more than 0.30 g and 0.50 g or less.

10. The magnetic tape apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the magnetic tape has a non-magnetic support and a magnetic layer including a ferromagnetic powder, and

the non-magnetic support is a polyester support.

11. The magnetic tape apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the magnetic tape further has a non-magnetic layer including a non-magnetic powder between the non-magnetic support and the magnetic layer.

12. The magnetic tape apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the magnetic tape further has a back coating layer including a non-magnetic powder on a surface side of the non-magnetic support opposite to a surface side having the magnetic layer.

13. The magnetic tape apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein a tape thickness of the magnetic tape is 5.6 μm or less.

14. The magnetic tape apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein a tape thickness of the magnetic tape is 5.3 μm or less.
