Test Principle
The pre-conditioned specimen is mounted in the test cell as to form a sealed barrier between two chambers. The lower-pressure chamber (lower chamber) is firstly evacuated, followed by the evacuation of the entire cell. A flow of gas is thereafter introduced into the evacuated higher-pressure chamber (upper chamber) and a constant pressure (adjustable) difference is generated between the two chambers. The gas permeates through the specimen from higher pressure side into the lower pressure side. The gas permeability of the specimen can be obtained by analyzing the pressure changes in the lower chamber.

FAQ's of Testing Instrument for Complex Films Ensuring Accurate Barrier Performance:
Q: How does the high-sensitivity coulometric sensor enhance barrier performance testing for films?
A: The high-sensitivity coulometric sensor detects even minimal levels of gas permeability, allowing for highly accurate measurement of barrier properties in complex multi-layer films and laminates. Its advanced sensitivity supports reliable results that are essential for quality assurance and product development.
Q: What types of films and materials are compatible with this testing instrument?
A: The instrument is suitable for a wide range of materials, including plastic films, composite films, and high-barrier laminates. Its adaptability makes it ideal for packaging applications requiring rigorous permeability analysis across varied substrates.
Q: When should automatic calibration be used, and how does it benefit the user?
A: Automatic calibration is recommended for routine operations to ensure ongoing measurement accuracy without manual intervention. This feature streamlines laboratory processes, maintains instrument reliability, and minimizes potential user error.
Q: Where should the instrument be installed and operated for optimal performance?
A: For best results, the instrument should be installed in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, within temperature and humidity ranges of 15-55C and 20-90% RH (non-condensing), respectively. This ensures the stability of test conditions and accuracy of results.
Q: What is the typical process for testing the barrier properties of packaging films using this equipment?
A: Users prepare the specimen (140 mm x 94 mm), select test parameters via the touchscreen, and load the material into the test cell. The automated system controls gas flow and environmental factors, collecting data within a 0.05-5000 ml/(m224h) range. Test results are stored and displayed for detailed analysis.
Q: How many samples can be tested simultaneously, and what is the benefit?
A: The instrument can test 1 to 3 specimens simultaneously, enabling faster throughput and parallel comparative analysis, which saves time and improves laboratory efficiency during routine or batch testing.
Q: What are the primary benefits of automated gas flow control and overload protection features?
A: Automated gas flow control ensures consistent test conditions and reproducibility, while overload and leakage protection safeguards both the operator and equipment. These features enhance safety, reliability, and data integrity throughout the testing process.
