Quality Control and the world's most damaging contaminant

Water vapour problems cost the UK over 4 billion pounds a year. It causes machines to jam, drugs to lose potency, food to rot, missiles to crash, electronics to short-circuit and is even critical in the construction industry. It can be a major headache for quality controllers as, traditionally, it takes weeks to check a single sample. 

Technology leader Versaperm has developed and introduced a range of permeability meters for both quality control and product development. It allows permeability to be measured in around half an hour for many samples and usually gives accuracies that are in the PPM (Parts per Million) range, PPB (Billion) in some cases.

The equipment is automated and simple to use, requiring little or no training to produce consistent and accurate results.  It can be used to determine the permeability of both material samples or finished products, components or packaging.  Samples can range in size from a thimble to a pallet load.

A range of options is available including single and multi-sample systems, temperature control and permeability measurements not just for water vapour permeability but for almost any gas – including, hydrogen, oxygen, CO2, solvents and hydrocarbons.

As well as manufacturing and supplying the equipment, Versaperm operates a laboratory service for companies where the volume or logistics of measurements does not demand a dedicated instrument.
