WVTR-06-02A Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester
01 / Application

Workflow and key features

The WVTR-06-02A uses the cup method. Water or desiccant is placed in a prepared test cup, the specimen is sealed over the cup, and mass change is measured under controlled temperature, humidity and airflow to calculate water-vapor transmission.

  • Six test stations with custom station counts available
  • Controlled temperature, humidity and airflow in the test chamber
  • Automatic gravimetric testing without repeated manual adjustment
  • Test-chamber and cup geometry designed for stable environmental conditions
  • Wide barrier range for high- and low-transmission materials
  • Touchscreen control with remote maintenance support
