Clearing the fog from measurement
The Versaperm WVTR meter can measure most materials and containers often in as little as 30 minutes as opposed to the days or weeks needed with conventional gravimetric techniques.
Even blister packs are vulnerable, with the vapour flow though the formed blister often being 400% of that through the laminated plastic alone.
Versaperm, leaders in water vapour measurement technology, has two simple solutions.
First, a meter which can measure the permeability of both the packaging material and the finished package itself.
It does this extremely quickly, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes as opposed to several days for conventional testing.
The second solution is the company's lab service, which can measure the permeability for you.
Versaperm's WVTR meter is versatile, fast, reliable, gives highly reproducible results and can be used to test virtually all packaging types.
It also allows the temperature and humidity of the sample to be accurately controlled.
Results are clearly shown on the equipment.
