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 (OTR) Test Systems:
Q: How does the OTR Test System measure oxygen transmission in packaging materials?
A: The OTR Test System utilizes a highly sensitive coulometric sensor paired with a microprocessor-based control system to detect and measure oxygen transmission rates across sample films. Nitrogen acts as the carrier gas, helping to create a controlled environment for accurate analysis. Results are displayed digitally and can be exported for detailed reporting.
Q: What materials and sample sizes can be analyzed with this system?
A: Specifically designed for plastic films and other packaging materials, the system supports a sample size of 100 mm x 100 mm and accommodates thicknesses up to 3 mm. It can run up to three samples concurrently, with a maximum test width of 120 mm, making it highly efficient for comparative analyses.
Q: When should the OTR Test System be recalibrated, and how is calibration performed?
A: Calibration should be conducted routinely as part of regular maintenance. The system supports both auto and manual calibration, allowing laboratories to comply with internal and external quality standards. Automated routines, accessible via the touch screen, guide users through the calibration process for enhanced reproducibility.
Q: Where can the OTR Test System be installed for optimal performance?
A: This bench-top OTR Test System is best suited for laboratories focusing on barrier property testing of packaging materials. It requires a stable power supply (220V, 50/60 Hz), and the ambient environment should be kept within 0C to 40C and 80% RH (non-condensing) for optimal performance and accurate readings.
Q: What is the process for exporting, analyzing, and reporting OTR test results?
A: After each test, the system's software saves data automatically to onboard memory (up to 1000 test results). Users can export data via USB or RS232 for further analysis, review, or report generation, making documentation convenient and fully traceable.
Q: How does the system benefit packaging manufacturers and testing labs?
A: This OTR Test System streamlines barrier property analysis by combining fast response (30 seconds), high resolution, and robust automation. It enhances efficiency, data integrity, and compliance, supporting product development, quality assurance, and supply chain confidence for manufacturers and test labs alike.
