Testing Principle
The sample is clamped between the test chambers, oxygen or air flows on one side of the film, and high-purity nitrogen flows on the other side of the film. Oxygen molecules diffuse through the film into the high-purity nitrogen in the other side. The flowing nitrogen is carried to the sensor. Through the analysis of the oxygen concentration measured by the sensor, the oxygen transmittance is calculated.

Users can follow on-screen instructions via the multi-language touchscreen display.
Q: Where should the Oxygen Permeability Tester be installed for optimal performance?
A: For best results, the unit should be placed on a bench-top in a location free from direct sunlight, vibrations, and excessive dust. Ambient conditions such as humidity (35%-90% adjustable) and temperature (15C-50C programmable) should be controlled within the recommended ranges for reliable test outcomes.
Q: What is the process for preparing and starting a test on this device?
A: Users cut the sample using the included cutter, place it into the test cell, and seal the cell. Operational parameters such as temperature, humidity, and gas flow are configured via the control panel. With a simple command on the touchscreen LCD, the automatic testing sequence begins, and results are reported upon test completion.
Q: How does using this oxygen permeability tester benefit quality control and R&D?
A: The high measurement accuracy (2%), configurable testing speeds, and comprehensive data management features allow for precise and repeatable analysis, accelerating both routine QC processes and innovative R&D projects. Compliance with ASTM and ISO standards further assures reliability for regulatory documentation.
Q: What support and accessories are provided with the machine?
