Water Vapour Permeability Analyser (cup method) W812 - WVTR testing equipment for packaging

Introducing the AUTO W812 Water Vapour Permeability Analyser (cup method), a cutting-edge solution crafted in accordance with ASTM E96 and GB/T 1037 standards. Engineered for high efficiency, it offers a broad spectrum of water vapor transmission rate detection, catering to low, medium, and high water vapor barrier materials in various applications such as food, medicine, medical equipment, and daily chemicals.

Test Principle: Employing the cup method, the AUTO W812 allows either desiccant (weight gain method) or water (weight loss method) to be placed in the sample cup. The sealed sample cup is then placed in the test box, where temperature, humidity, and wind speed are meticulously controlled. The resulting difference in humidity drives water vapor penetration through the sample, with regular weighing of the sample cup facilitating the calculation of performance parameters like water vapor transmission.

Standards: Compliance with ASTM E96, GB/T 1037, GB/T 16928, GB/T 17146, GB/T 12704, GB/T 19082, GB/T 21332, ASTM D1653, ISO 2528, TAPPIT464, DIN 53122-1, YBB00092003 ensures reliability and accuracy in testing.
