Gas Transmission Rate Tester


The Differential Pressure Method Gas Permeability Tester is a precision laboratory instrument designed to measure the gas permeability of various materials under controlled differential pressure conditions. You can use it to evaluate O₂, CO₂, N₂, and air transmission rates through films, sheets, high-barrier materials, metal foils, and rubber. This instrument provides reliable data for material selection, quality control, and product development in packaging, engineering plastics, aerospace, and chemical industries.

Applications

Gas Transmission Rate Tester adopt Pressure differential method,used to test the gas (o2,N2,CO2 etc)transmission rate (GTR) of packaging materials, such as plastic film, composite film, coextrusion film, aluminum-plated film, aluminum foil, infusion bag, sheets, paper, paper board, solar battery panel, cellophane, ceramics and porcelain, and various containers such as bag,pouch, bottle,can, bowl, box,widely used in the industries of food,pharmaceuticals,personal care,household,electronics and so on.
