Test Principle

The test specimen is mounted in the diffusion cell, which is divided into a dry chamber and a controlled-humidity chamber. The dry side of the specimen is swept by a flow of dry nitrogen, and the water vapor permeating through the specimen from the controlled-humidity chamber is carried by dry nitrogen to the electrolytic sensor where proportion electrical signals will be generated. The water vapor transmission rate is obtained by analyzing and calculating the electrical signals. For whole package specimen, the dry nitrogen flows inside the specimen while the outside of specimen is maintained in a high humidity environment.

Application

Features

High Precision

• Labthink electrolytic sensor for water vapor analysis with higher sensitivity.

Product Features

Patented Sensor Technology

The instrument uses Labthink’s proprietary electrolytic sensor for water vapor analysis, which has excellent precision, repeatability and service life. As a coulometric electrolytic sensor, its signal follows the Faraday principle and has a very high sensitivity.

New Generation Integrated Testing Block

The patented three-cell integrated test block structure using advanced thermodynamics and hydrodynamics analysis greatly improves the temperature, humidity and flow measurement accuracy across the three test cells and supports simultaneous testing of three samples.

Automatic Control of Temperature and Humidity

The internal temperature and humidity of the instrument are automatically adjusted with temperature and humidity sensors, maintaining the stability of the test specimen environment.

Easy-to-use and High-efficiency System

The automatic test mode, combined with the instrument features, eliminates the need for manual adjustments to quickly obtain accurate results, saving training costs and releasing staff from manual monitoring so that they are available for other tasks.

The professional test mode provides flexible and rich instrument control functions to meet individual scientific research needs.

Unique, optional DataShieldTM system, meets the requirements for centralized management of user data. It supports a variety of formats of exported data. Reliable security algorithms are used to prevent data leakage. It supports universal wired and wireless LAN, optional private wireless network and third-party software.

User-oriented Service Concept
