Gas Permeability Analyser / Gas Permeability Analyzer/ Gas Transmission Rate Testing Equipment

Product Introduction
The N500A 2.0 Gas Permeability Tester is a laboratory instrument integrating mechanical, electronic and software systems for quantitative measurement of gas transmission through films, sheets, foils and packaged containers. It supports testing of packaging items including bottles, bags, cans and boxes using gases such as O2, CO2, N2 and air.

Test Principle
The instrument operates on the differential pressure method. The sample is mounted between upper and lower chambers. After evacuation by a vacuum pump, a reference gas at controlled pressure is introduced to the upper chamber. Gas permeating through the sample is measured by monitoring pressure changes in the lower chamber and converting these into permeation values.

Standards
GB/T 1038.1; ISO 2556; ISO 15105-1; ASTM D1434; JIS K7126-1; YBB 00082003
