Test Principle
The pre-conditioned specimen is clamped in the test cell, oxygen or air flows on one side of the specimen while a stream of high-purity nitrogen flows on the other side. Oxygen molecules permeate through the specimen into the nitrogen side and are carried to the coulometric sensor. The sensor analyzes the oxygen concentration and calculates the oxygen transmission rate and other factors.
Test Standards
This test instrument conforms to many national and international standards:
ASTM D3985, ASTM F1307, ASTM F1927, DIN 53380-3, JIS K7126-2-B, GB/T 19789, GB/T 31354, YBB 00082003-2015.
