AUTO W812 Water Vapour Transmission Rate Tester

AUTO W812 Water Vapour Transmission Rate Tester

Manufactured by GBPI Testing Instruments

The AUTO W812 moisture vapour transmission rate tester uses the cup method to test the rate of water vapour transmission of films, sheets, papers, fabrics, non-woven fabrics, etc. The cup method is considered the simplest and most widely used method for determining water vapour transmission properties.

Engineered for high efficiency, this instrument has a newly designed test cavity and breathable cup design, with the ability to connect it to the Internet of Things (IOT) platform to realise network digital management.

Benefits

  • Upgraded test chamber and breathable cup design with a fully automatic rotating tray.
  • High weighing efficiency, 360° three-dimensional constant temperature and humidity in the test cavity.
  • 12 test stations supporting weight gain and weight loss test modes.
  • Manufactured according to ASTM E96 and GB/T 1037 standards (For full standards list, see Specifications).
  • Semiconductor stabiliser automatically controls the temperature, delivering a temperature control accuracy of 0.1°C.
  • Dual airflow (dry air and wet air) humidity control method, automatic wind speed adjustment, no water mist humidity adjustment technology, stable humidity, and high precision.
  • Humidity is accurate to ±2%RH to meet the needs of long-term continuous testing.
  • Power-on self-test to avoid testing under fault conditions.
  • Balance thermal insulation and moisture-proof technology ensure the stability and life of the balance.
  • Fashionable appearance with an exquisite 3D printed shell.
  • Fully automatic operation with real-time visualisation of curves, including transmittance-time, temperature-time, humidity-time, and weight-time.
  • Intelligent operating system provides audit and tracking functions, along with multi-level user permission settings to meet the demands of the pharmaceutical industry for traceability.
  • Personalised test reports can be set as needed.
  • Professional calibration service for accurate and reliable data.

Applications

The AUTO W812 Water Vapour Permeability Analyser offers a broad spectrum of water vapor transmission rate detection, catering to low, medium, and high water vapour barrier materials in various applications such as food, medicine, medical equipment, and daily chemicals. These include:

Films Water vapour transmittance test of various plastic films (PP/PET/PE/PVC/BOPP/CPP, etc.), plastic composite films, paper-plastic composite films, metal composite films, co-extrusion films, aluminium films, degradable packaging films (PLA/PBAT/PBS) etc.).
Sheets Water vapour transmission test of solid pharmaceutical hard sheet (PP/PVC/PTP, etc.), metal composite sheet, rubber sheet, and other sheet materials.
Paper, cardboard and their composites Water vapour transmission test of paper and cardboard such as coated paper, silicone paper, aluminium paper for cigarette packs, paper-aluminium-plastic composite sheet, etc.
Medicinal patches Water vapour transmission performance test of medical plasters.
Packages Customisable clamps can be extended to packaging parts, such as medical polyethylene bottles, sealed bags, medical ointment tubes, infusion hoses, and plastic trays.
