Meter measures gases leaking past seals

Meter measures a wide range of hydrocarbon-based, (and other) gases - including petrol, diesel, hydraulic fluids, refrigerants and water vapour - easily, quickly and accurately.

Seals, pipes, joints, membranes, filters, mastics, O rings, cables and sheaths are excellent at keeping liquids out.

Unfortunately, said Versaperm, many of the vapours commonly used in vehicles often pass straight through them.

Consequently, electronics can deteriorate, components rust, products rot.

Motor vehicles cars, planes and even rockets have failed, simply because many materials can not keep vapour in or out.

Versaperm has launched a new way to measure gas leaks like this easily, quickly and accurately for a wide range of hydrocarbon-based, (and other) gases including petrol, diesel, hydraulic fluids, refrigerants and water vapour.

The MK VI meter gives results that are as accurate as a few parts per hundred million for some gases.

The permeability of some materials can be obtained in as little as 30 min, whereas conventional gravimetric testing takes several days for a single measurement, said Versaperm to manufacturingtalk.

The meter's highly automated computerised control makes it easy to use, requiring at most a few minutes training, even to cope with several samples at a time.

Sensitivities is high and naturally dependent on the specific vapour under test.

As well as instrument sales Versaperm also offers a comprehensive permeability laboratory testing service.
