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.
