Accurately tests and measures seals and enclosures

17 April 2013

According to Versaperm, there are occasions when a failing seal is not too much of a problem, but there are also mission-critical occasions when they must not fail - and every stage between the two. In all of these cases seals, O-rings, mastics and enclosures are designed to keep things either in, or out - usually water, grease, CO2, oil or solvents.

According to Versaperm, there are occasions when a failing seal is not too much of a problem, but there are also mission-critical occasions when they must not fail - and every stage between the two. In all of these cases seals, O-rings, mastics and enclosures are designed to keep things either in, or out - usually water, grease, CO2, oil or solvents.

For such instances, Versaperm has a range of permeability testing instrumentation to help companies accurately test and measure seals and enclosures - including individual seals, material samples and even finished units.

In many cases it takes just 30 minutes to achieve results in the Parts per Million (PPM) range. This allows designers and manufacturers to specify materials that bypass problems and it enables QC departments to investigate new materials as well as check both incoming and outgoing products.
