productVersaperm’s upgraded range of permeability meters produce fast accurate results in the PPM (parts per million) to PPB (billion) range and can quality control permeability for virtually any gas or vapour, including hydrocarbons, solvents, hydrogen, oxygen and CO2.
productVersaperm has introduced an updated range of technically advanced systems to provide faster and more precise vapour permeability measurements of not just material samples and laminates but also finished and fully formed components and enclosures.
productVersaperm has launched a new, fast version of its carbon dioxide (CO2) permeability meter. It can accurately measure vapour permeability for a wide range of materials, coatings, components, bottles, enclosures and even finished products.
productVapours, usually water or hydrocarbon that seep into the wrong place are responsible for a great number of cases of machines that jam, electronics that fail, foods that rot, metals that rust, and drugs that lose potency according to Versaperm.
productWater vapour doesn’t just sneak around the edge of seals to get into places it shouldn’t, it can permeate through the fabric of seals, mastics, gaskets and valves, sometimes in large volumes. Versaperm’s measurement equipment lets users test and develop a design to check the effect of the manufacturing techniques and materials used.
productProblems with fuel or water can be very serious in the aerospace sector; a component made from one material may be perfect for containing liquid water or hydrocarbons, but can allow their vaporous to pass through virtually unchecked.

productWater vapour accounts for several billion pounds of waste to UK industry, causing electronics to fail, machines to jam, drugs to lose potency, metal to rust and a host of other common failures. Controlling water vapour is problematical as it can actually pass right through most materials.
