About Versaperm

Versaperm manufactures gas permeability testing equipment, offers a comprehensive permeability testing service and a materials consultancy. These are used to measure gas permeability and leakage, important in medical and pharmaceutical packaging, foils and films, coatings, food and confectionery packaging and contents, and many other applications.

Instruments

Versaperm designs and manufactures instruments to meet each customer’s needs. Instruments are typically be based on a modular MkVI design.

Testing Service


Our laboratory testing service has over 30 years experience to enable us to choose the best technique to measure your sample's permeability both quickly and accurately.

 

Sensors

Our diverse and growing range of sensors are based on fundamentally different and divergent physical principals. The choice of the right sensor for an application is critical in the successful deployment of the equipment. We are not tied to a sensor manufacturer.

Gases / Vapours

At Versaperm we can measure the permeability for almost any gas / vapour including water vapour, Oxygen, CO2 Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen and Hydrocarbons.

Applications

Consultancy

Our Consultancy division combines our theoretical and practical Permeability skills in instrument design and manufacture. Permeability Consultancy

Reducing Business Waste

Permeability - reducing business waste

Choosing materials with the right permeability can dramatically reduce waste in business and industry. Not only that but it can cut costs, improve packaging and help you to improve the environment.

It can prevent foods from rotting early, pharmaceuticals from loosing potency, electronics from jamming and packaging from lacking punch.

 

To help to overcome this problem of business waste we have introduced a new version of our permeability meter for industry - and it offers not just enhanced sensitivity but is well over 100 times faster than traditional gravimetric techniques. 

The new computerised meter can measure the vapour flow across either a sample of a business material, or a finished industrial product, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes.  Accuracy depends on the exact sensor used as well as the gas under test but is commonly in the PPM range and is in the PPB range for some materials.

 Business Waste


Permeability - the measurement that reduces industrial waste
- from food to O-rings and from packaging to electronics

Vapour permeability is the measure of how strongly a material can resist the barrier passage of any gas (such as water vapour, Oxygen, CO2 or a hydrocarbon).  Vapour permeability dramatically affects the physical characteristics of most products and materials, from outdoor clothing to missiles and from pizza to industrial seals.
