Measuring the effectiveness of semi-permeable membranes

Measuring the effectiveness of semi-permeable membranes can be difficult, costly and time-consuming. Now, Versaperm has launched a fast and accurate way for a company to measure the permeability of virtually any material for almost any gas in use today.

The company's permeability meter is highly automated and can cope with several samples at a time. It needs very little re-calibration and requires, at most, minimal training in order to obtain results that are both accurate and repeatable.

Sensitivities depend on sensors, gasses and materials but are usually in the parts per million range (parts per billion for some materials).

A variety of sensors, based on a wide range of physical principles, enables Versaperm's equipment to be used to characterise a range of materials, compounds, containers, products and laminates at temperature of up to 1,100degC.

Versaperm also offers a consultancy service for laboratories that need to measure permeability of complex new materials and assemblies.
