Product catalog summary
Overview
The VAC-V2 is a sophisticated instrument designed for measuring the gas transmission rate, solubility coefficient, diffusion coefficient, and permeability coefficient of various materials such as plastic films, composite films, high barrier materials, sheeting, and aluminum foils. It utilizes the differential pressure method for these determinations.
Professional Technology
  • Simultaneous measurement of multiple coefficients in one operation.
  • Capability to test three distinct specimens individually with independent results.
  • Wide range and high precision control of temperature and humidity.
  • Two test modes available: proportional and standard.
  • Extended test range for high permeability materials.
  • Data fitting function for obtaining results under extreme conditions.
  • Customizable for testing poisonous, inflammable, and explosive gases.
  • Computer-controlled with automatic test processes.
  • Includes reference film for fast calibration.
  • Standard RS232 port for data transfer and supports Lystem™ Lab Data Sharing System.
Test Principle
The specimen is mounted in a gas diffusion cell, forming a sealed barrier between two chambers. The lower-pressure chamber is evacuated, followed by the entire cell. Gas is introduced into the higher-pressure chamber, creating a constant pressure difference. Gas permeates through the specimen, and permeability is determined by monitoring pressure changes in the lower chamber.
Standards
This instrument conforms to standards such as ISO 15105-1, ISO 2556, GB/T 1038-2000, ASTM D1434, JIS K7126-1, and YBB 00082003.
Applications
  • Basic Applications: Films, sheeting, including various types of plastic and composite films.
  • Extended Applications: Testing permeability of various gases, including inflammable and explosive gases, biodegradable films, aerospace materials, paper and paper board, paint films, glass fiber cloth and paper, soft tube materials for cosmetics, and rubber sheeting.
Technical Specifications
  • Film Test Range: 0.05 ~ 50,000 cm3/m2·24h·0.1MPa (standard volume), up to 500,000 cm3/m2·24h·0.1MPa (extended volume).

  • Test Gas: O2, N2, and CO2 (not supplied).
  • Test Pressure: 10kpa~200kpa (standard).
  • Gas Supply Pressure: 0.4 MPa ~ 0.6 MPa.
  • Instrument Size: 760 mm(L) x 575 mm(W) x 450 mm(H).
  • Power: AC 220V 50Hz.
  • Net Weight: 88 kg.
Configurations
  • Standard Configurations: Instrument, constant temperature control device, professional software, round sample cutter, vacuum grease, fast quantitative filter paper, and imported vacuum pump.
  • Optional Parts: Blades for sample cutter, vacuum grease, vacuum pump oil, fast quantitative filter paper.
Note: The gas supply port is Φ6 mm PU Tubing, and customers need to prepare for gas supply.

PERME®  VAC-V2 Gas Permeability Tester-1

PERME® VAC-V2 Gas Permeability Tester VAC-V2 is based on the differential pressure method, and is professionally applicable to the determination of gas transmission rate as well as solubility coefficient, diffusion coefficient and permeability coefficient of plastic films, composite films, high barrier materials, sheeting, and aluminum foils. • Gas transmission rate, solubility coefficient, diffusion coefficient and permeability coefficient of the specimen could be obtained at one operation • 3 distinct or equivalent specimens could be tested individually with independent test results at one operation • Wide range and high precision temperature and humidity control to meet various test conditions • The instrument comes with two test modes: proportional mode and standard mode • Test range could be extended based on user requirements to test the materials with high permeability • Test results could be easily obtained even at extreme conditions by data fitting function, which could fit any temperature • The instrument could be used to test poisonous, inflammable, and explosive gases (customization required) • The instrument is controlled by a computer and test process is automatic • Reference film for fast calibration to ensure accurate and universal test data • Standard RS232 port for convenient data transfer • Support Lystem™ Lab Data Sharing System for uniform management of test results and test reports The pre-conditioned specimen is mounted in the gas diffusion cell as to form a sealed barrier between two chambers. The lower-pressure chamber is firstly evacuated, followed by the evacuation of the entire cell. A flow of gas is thereafter introduced into the evacuated higher-pressure chamber and a constant pressure difference is generated between two chambers. The gas permeates through the specimen from the higher pressure side into the lower side. The gas permeability and other barrier properties of the specimen can be obtained by monitoring the pressure changes in the lower chamber.
