InstrumentstestingSensorsGasses and vapoursConsultancy

 

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.

Vapour permeability measurement

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

Containers

The Permeability Laboratory can measure permeability on containers from the smallest pill blisters to large tanks. Where a container is sealed on the production line, the most representative measurements are obtained on samples where a source of the gas, such as water for water vapour transmission rates, is sealed into the container on a
production basis. This allows us to test the samples rapidly and accurately, without any interference or sample preparation. Where this is not possible, a range of alternative techniques are available.

 

 

WVTR For measuring vapour permeability

We use a range of chamber sizes, from 100 ml to 3 litre, fitted inside the instruments. For very large samples, external temperature controlled chambers may be used. Our current limit is about twice the size of a 40 ft shipping container!

Please call to discuss your application needs before dispatching or preparing samples.
