Test Principle
The pre-conditioned specimen is clamped in the test cell, oxygen or air flows on one side of the specimen while a stream of high purity nitrogen flows on the other side. Oxygen molecules permeate through the specimen into the nitrogen side and are carried to the coulometric sensor. The sensor analyzes the oxygen concentration and calculates the oxygen transmission rate and other factors.

FAQ's of Oxygen Transmission Rate Tester for Packages and Films:
Q: How does the Oxygen Transmission Rate Tester measure the permeability of packages and films?
A: The device uses a high-precision coulometric sensor to accurately detect the rate at which oxygen passes through packaging or film samples. It deploys pure oxygen or nitrogen as the carrier gas and automatically records oxygen transmission data, providing results in both graphical and tabular formats for easy evaluation.
Q: What types of specimens can be tested, and is special preparation required?
A: You can test films and package materials up to 3mm thick and 100mm in diameter. The tester accommodates up to three specimens at once, requiring no special preparation-just ensure samples are cut to size and placed in the chamber.
Q: When should the unit's calibration be performed, and is it manual or automatic?
A: Calibration is handled automatically by the device through zero and span calibration features, ensuring accurate performance each time you conduct a test. There is no need for manual intervention.
