Permeability testing

Water 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.

Addressing this, Versaperm has a range of permeability testing instrumentation to help companies test both their materials and their manufacturing processes as it can measure the permeability of both samples and finished products giving answers that are usually accurate in the Parts Per Million (PPM) range. In some cases this takes just 30 minutes.

Versaperm’s latest instrument and specialised sensor range can measure permeability not just for water vapour, but for virtually any gas or vapour used by industry, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, helium and nitrogen.
