Permeability Testers measure oxygen and water vapor.

Press Release Summary:




LYSSY OPT-5000, with automated temperature control and single- or dual-side relative humidity control, is designed to measure oxygen permeability. It features touchscreen and test sample holders that eliminate need for grease or other lubricant fixatives. Using humidity sensor that measures samples directly within test chamber, LYSSY L80-5000 tests transmission of water vapor from 0.03 to 10,000 g/m²/day.



Original Press Release:



Simple, Easy-to-Use Permeability Testers Provide Reliable Oxygen and Water Vapor Transmission Measurements for Advanced Research and Quality Control



Glen Rock, NJ: High reliability, repeatability, and ease of operation characterize the performance of the LYSSY OPT-5000 oxygen and Lyssy L80-5000 water vapor permeability testers available from PBI-Dansensor America Inc.

The high sensitivity and versatility of the OPT-5000 Oxygen Permeability Tester with automated temperature control and single- or dual-side relative humidity control easily accommodates a broad range of laboratory and production applications. An operator simply inserts a sample and selects the test program from the touchscreen. Specially designed test sample holders eliminate the need for grease or other lubricant fixatives. The oxygen transmission rate (OTR) is provided directly on the screen in ml/m² o day. Test documentation with error loggings are completely traceable.

Accuracy and broad testing range for water vapor permeability on the LYSSY L 80-5000 extends from 0.03 to 10,000 g/m² o day. Unlike other testers that measure extractive values, the LYSSY provides a very sensitive and reliable humidity sensor with a large linear, dynamic range that measures samples directly within the test chamber. The close-to-gravimetric testing process measures the time required for the upper chamber humidity to increase within a predefined interval caused by the permeation of water vapor through the test film or foil. This static test approximates real-life conditions and does not require extractive sampling or carrier gas.
