Note:
1.Gas supply ports of instrument are 1/8 inch copper tubing and Φ4 mm PU tubing;
2.Customers will need to provide gas supply;
3.The given temperature and humidity control ranges are independently valid.
Principle
Mount the preconditioned specimen between the test chambers. Oxygen flows in one side of the film, and nitrogen flows on the other side. The oxygen molecules permeate through the film and into the nitrogen side, and are then carried to the sensor by the flowing nitrogen. By analyzing the oxygen concentration measured by the sensor, oxygen transmission rate and other parameters can be calculated. As to packages, nitrogen flows inside the packages, and oxygen flows outside the packages.
Standards
This oxygen transmission rate tester conforms to the following standards:
ASTM F2622, ASTM F1307, ASTM F1927, ASTM D3985, ISO 15105-2, GB/T 19789, JIS K7126-2, YBB 00082003
