AUTO W806 Water Vapour Transmission Rate Tester

AUTO W806 Water Vapour Transmission Rate Tester

Manufactured by GBPI Testing Instruments

The AUTO W806 water vapour permeability tester has been meticulously designed and manufactured in accordance with the ASTM E96 standard. It is based on the cup method to measure the water transmission rate of films, paper, sheets, fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and other related materials in various environments.

While this test is commonly used in the packaging industry, it’s also ideal for food, pharmaceuticals, daily chemicals, and medical devices.

Benefits

  • Tailored to deliver extensive and efficient water vapor transmission rate detection for low, medium, and high water vapor barrier materials.
  • Upgraded test chamber and breathable cup design for efficient multi-mode operation.
  • Precise control of temperature, humidity, and wind speed for accurate measurements.
  • Fault self-check and professional safety protection.
  • Artistic design with real-time visualisation of curves.
  • Developed in-house with modular graphics for flexible parameter settings.
  • GMP-compliant with audit trail and multi-level permission settings.
  • Personalised test reports and data output in multiple formats.
  • Calibrated and verified using national standard material independently developed for accurate and reliable data.
  • Connects to the IoT platform for network digital management.
  • Remote authorisation for managing experimental data, remote diagnosis, and troubleshooting.

Applications

  • Film: Suitable for water vapour permeability test of various plastic films, composite films, degradable packaging films, etc.
  • Sheet: Suitable for water vapor permeability test of solid pharmaceutical hard sheets, metal composite sheets, rubber sheets, etc.
  • Paper, Cardboard, and Composite Material: Suitable for water vapour permeability test of paper and cardboard, such as coated paper, silicone paper, aluminised paper for cigarette packs, paper-aluminium-plastic composite sheet, etc.
  • Medicinal Patch: Suitable for water vapour permeability test of medical plasters.
