- Calibration data recovery function to reduce mistaken operation affects
- Supports LystemTM Lab Data Sharing System for better data management
Principle
Under a certain test temperature, a constant humidity difference is generated between two sides of the test specimen. The water vapor permeates through the specimen and into the dry side. By measuring the weight changes of the test dish in different time, water vapor transmission rate and other parameters can be obtained.
Standards
This test instrument conforms to the following standards:
ISO 2528, GB 1037, GB/T 16928, ASTM E96, ASTM D1653, TAPPI T464, DIN 53122-1, JIS Z0208, YBB 00092003
Applications
This instrument is applicable to the determination of water vapor transmission rate of:
| Basic Applications |
Films
Including plastic films, plastic composite films, paper-plastic composite films, geomembranes, coextruded films, aluminized films, aluminum foils, aluminum foil composite films, breathable waterproof films and many others |
Sheeting
Including engineering plastics, rubber, waterproof building materials and thermal insulation materials, e.g. PP, PVC, PVDC and nylon |
Paper and Paper Board
Including paper and paper board |
Textiles and Nonwovens

| Extended Applications |
Inverted Cup Method
Mount film or sheeting in test dish, cover upper surface of specimen with distilled water, and make the lower side in certain humidity. Generate a constant humidity difference between two sides; water vapor permeates through specimen and measure weight changes in different time to obtain the water vapor transmission rate.
NOTE: inverted cups are required |
Solar Back-sheets
Including solar back-sheets and OLED packaging materials |
LCD Monitor Films
Including LCD monitor films |
Aseptic Wound Protecting Films and Face Masks
Including aseptic wound protecting films, face masks and protective clothing materials |
