Ensuring Aerospace Safety and Performance with Vapour Permeability Measurement

Vapour permeability plays a crucial yet often overlooked role in aerospace and airship engineering, impacting everything from gasbags and fuel systems to seals, electronics and refrigerants. Any failure to control vapour permeability can have severe consequences, from fuel leakage and refrigeration inefficiencies to catastrophic material degradation. Versaperm provides industry-leading solutions to measure and manage this critical property, helping manufacturers, engineers and designers optimise both performance and safety.

Versaperm’s advanced permeability measurement systems allow aerospace and airship manufacturers to test materials, seals, components and even complete systems with unparalleled accuracy. If a gasbag does not have the correct permeability, its integrity is compromised. If a seal allows vapour to escape from a fuel system, the risks increase dramatically. Even small variations in permeability can have a profound impact and manufacturing processes alone can alter vapour permeability by a factor of four.

The company’s equipment can measure the permeability of water vapour, aviation fuel, refrigerants, compressed air, hydraulic fluids and virtually every other gas-material combination. Designed for both precision and efficiency, the system provides rapid results with accuracies typically in the Parts Per Million (PPM) range and, for some materials, even reaching the Parts Per Billion (PPB) level. Multiple gases and samples can be assessed simultaneously, delivering comprehensive data to support critical engineering decisions.

Versaperm’s systems operate across extreme conditions, with temperature ranges from -80°C to over +1400°C, variable pressures from 0 to 300 bar and adaptable environmental and humidity settings. This ensures reliable testing for components used in demanding aerospace applications.

In addition to manufacturing and supplying permeability measurement equipment, Versaperm offers laboratory testing and consultancy services, providing tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of the aerospace and airship industries.
