AUTO W809 Water Vapour Permeability Analyser

Product Introduction

Water Vapour Permeability Analyser - AUTO W809 is designed and manufactured in accordance with ASTM E96, GB/T 1037 standards, and provides a wide range of high-efficiency water vapour transmission rate testing for low, medium and high water vapour barrier materials with the principle of Gravimetric Method. It is suitable for the water vapour transmission performance test of films, sheets, paper, fabrics, non-woven fabrics and related materials in the fields of food, medicine, medical equipment, and daily chemicals. 

Test principle

Desiccant (weight gain method) or place water (weight loss method) in the sample cup. Seal the sample cup with the sample and place it in the test box. Control the temperature, humidity and wind speed of the test box. The humidity difference drives the water vapour to penetrate the sample, and the mass of the sample cup increases or decreases. Regularly weigh the quality of the sample cup, and calculate the water vapour transmission rate and other performance parameters of the sample.

Features

 

Test cavity and permeable cup design upgraded, efficient multi-mode

Newly designed test cavity and round moisture permeable cup. Fully automatic rotating tray. High weighing efficiency. 360° three-dimensional constant temperature and humidity in the test cavity. Test error is less than 0.05 g/m2·24h. 9 test stations; supports weight gain and weight loss test modes.

Precise control of temperature, humidity and wind speed

Adopt international advanced electromagnetic temperature control technology, three-dimensional constant temperature of cavity space, temperature control accuracy of dual airflow (dry air and wet air) humidity control method, automatic adjustment of wind speed, moisture-free humidity adjustment technology, stable humidity, high precision and humidity accurate to ±2%RH, to meet the needs of long-term continuous testing.

Fault self-check, professional safety protection

Power-on self-test to avoid testing under fault conditions. Balance thermal insulation and moisture-proof technology to ensure the stability and life of the balance.

Excellent appearance, convenient operation, real-time visualisation of curves

The products are artistically designed from the perspective of ergonomics and technical aesthetics, with exquisite 3D printed shells and smooth lines.
