Product IntroductionW416 2.0 Infrared Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester is an upgraded high-end precision testing instrument developed by GBPI R&D team in accordance with GB/T 26253, ASTM F1249 and international standards. Based on infrared moisture sensor technology, it provides wide-range and high-efficiency WVTR test for high, medium and low barrier materials. It is widely used for films, sheets, paper, packages and materials in food, pharmaceutical, medical devices, daily chemical, photovoltaic and electronics industries, ideal for offline and online testing in packaging industry.
Test PrincipleW416 2.0 adopts the infrared sensor testing principle. The pre-processed sample is fixed in the test chamber, dividing it into wet and dry sides. Compressed air flows in the wet chamber, and dry nitrogen (carrier gas) flows in the dry chamber at a fixed rate. Due to humidity gradient, water vapor permeates to the dry chamber and is carried to the infrared sensor. The WVTR value is calculated by the electrical signal output from the sensor.
