DFP-100-1 & DMPC-500A

Many applications of porous materials require very low gas permeability through these materials. Such applications are found in many industries including biotech, healthcare, pharmaceutical, food, packaging, environmental, power sources and chemical industries. Determination of the magnitudes of flow rates of multiple gas through materials used in these applications is important for evaluation of products. The PMI Dynamic Moisture Permeation Analyzer is capable of measuring water vapor transmission through porous media such as textiles, leathers, man made materials, membranes, nonwovens, and fabrics used in numerous high technology components and consumer products manufactured by a variety of industries. The instrument has the unique ability to measure vapor transmission rate over a wide range of humidity, temperature, and pressure under gradients of humidity, temperature, and pressure encountered in application environments.
