Product catalog summary
Overview
The C330H Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System is designed to measure the water vapor transmission rate of barrier materials using the electrolytic sensor method, conforming to ISO 15106-3 standards. It is suitable for materials with high and medium moisture barrier properties and is applicable across various industries including food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

Key Features
  • High Precision: Utilizes Labthink's electrolytic sensor for high sensitivity and precision. The integrated test block design enhances measurement accuracy.
  • High Efficiency: Capable of testing three specimens simultaneously under the same conditions, increasing throughput.
  • Labor Saving: Automatic control of temperature, humidity, and flow rate reduces the need for operator intervention.
  • Simplified Operation: Features a 12” touch-screen with Windows™ 10 OS and optional DataShieldTM software for data management.

Technical Specifications
  • Test Range: 0.005~50 g/(m2·day) with a resolution of 0.001 g/(m2·day).
  • Test Temperature: 10 ~ 55°C with ±0.2°C accuracy.
  • Test Humidity: 5% ~ 90% RH with ±1% accuracy.
  • Specimen Size: 108mm×108mm, thickness ≤3mm.
  • Carrier Gas: Requires 99.999% high-purity nitrogen.

Applications
  • Basic Applications: Suitable for films, sheeting, and various packaging materials.
  • Extended Applications: Includes closure systems, solar back-sheets, plastic tubes, blister packs, and automotive fuel tanks.

Test Principle
The specimen is placed in a diffusion cell divided into dry and controlled-humidity chambers. Dry nitrogen carries the water vapor permeating through the specimen to the electrolytic sensor, where electrical signals are generated and analyzed to determine the water vapor transmission rate.

Compliance and Standards
The system complies with ISO 15106-3, ASTM F3299, GB/T 21529, and YBB 00092003-2015 standards.

Additional Information
Labthink offers customization services for non-standard specimens and packages. The system supports centralized data management and secure data handling through the optional DataShieldTM system.
