Versaperm has designed and launched a new instrument that can be configured to measure the permeability of most substances to most gasses - including O2, CO2, nitrogen, argon and water vapour
Ideal for both R+D and production environments, the new modular meter is fast, easy to use, reliable and can produce accurate measurements in as little as 30 minutes for some materials.
Conventional techniques can take days, or even weeks to measure the same thing.
The meter offers highly automated computerised control and is capable of coping with several samples at a time, giving results that can be accurate to better than one part per million (with some samples a few parts per hundred million).
Sensitivities vary depending on the detector system deployed.
A wide variety of options is available, depending on the specific applications, but a range of detectors, single or multi-sample systems and a range of measurement chambers can be supplied for testing samples from the size of a thimble up to a pallet load or even beyond.
As well as manufacturing the instruments, Versaperm operates a laboratory service for companies where the volume or logistics of measurements does not demand a dedicated instrument.
