What is Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester

Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester testing is a critical method for measuring the water vapor permeability of medium to high barrier materials using infrared sensor principles. It employs a humidity gradient across test samples clamped between dry and wet chambers, with water vapor detected by an infrared sensor to calculate transmission rates, adhering to ISO 15106-2, ASTM F1249, GB/T 26253-2010, and other standards. This ensures reliable results for packaging, medical, and building applications.

In packaging, it ensures films and composites maintain product integrity. In medical and building sectors, it evaluates materials like waterproof membranes and insulation, preventing moisture damage. The tester’s precision helps manufacturers optimize material performance and meet regulatory requirements.
