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.

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

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.

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.

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

Permeability is often the most critial factor in a material or component's performance. It determines how drugs to loose potency, food goes off, how paper both prints and jams in equipment, how seals work and it can even cause electronics to fail.

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

Consumables

Consumables for the instrumental techniques include reference samples, gaskets and seals, filters, nickel basins, and other parts specific to each instrument.

For gravimetric techniques, we stock an excellent WVTR (or MVTR) wax, used to seal the sample into the cup. We also produce cups which are faster to prepare than the wax-sealed cups, as they are closed with a set of finger screws. This results in a fast sample loading, easy cleaning and thus faster turnaround between sample sets. These are typically made in stainless steel or anodised aluminium, but polymeric versions are available where required.

We also stock some grades of semi-permeable membranes for wet cup gravimetric testing, commonly used in the fabric industry
