Can measure oxygen permeation of film materials, plastic bottles, cans, containers, canisters, flexible pouches, and bags over a wide measurement range
The new model 8001 oxygen permeation analyser from Systech combines research tool standards of packaging film testing with an easy to use Windows based user interface.
The software provides precise control of temperature and relative humidity while the balanced electronics and gas handling subsystems ensure accuracy and repeatability of test results under practical, industrial laboratory conditions in conformity with worldwide standards.
In addition to film materials up to 1.27mm thick, the 8001 can measure oxygen permeation of plastic bottles, cans, containers, canisters, flexible pouches, and bags over a very wide measurement range of 0.008 to 432,000cc/m2/day.
Rugged design and construction and extensive burn-in of components and final assemblies ensures high reliability and low maintenance in both research and industrial applications.
The control software, run on any Windows platform, uses tabbed primary screens, pop-up data fields and pull-down menus to provide an intuitive and interactive user interface.
Once set-up, test conditions, including purging, are controlled automatically to eliminate the risk of human error and minimise operator training.
Calibration can use both Nist traceable gases and films to provide versatility of film-to-film comparisons and ensure data accuracy under all conditions.
Sample preparation is exceptionally simple; a 50cm diameter disk of the film to be tested is standard with adaptors available to accommodate smaller samples.
The Systech 8001 is equipped with two sample chambers and one instrument can control up to ten further test chambers.
The ability to simultaneously test up to twelve samples, with data tracking, storage and output capabilities, provides a very cost-effective solution to volume testing applications.
