Unmatched Performance in a Water Vapor Transmission Analyzer - WVTR!

The Model 7001 Water Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer (WVTR) uses a well proven sensor technology to measure water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) lower than other instruments on the market.  With a measurement range of 0.0002 to 64.5 g/100in2/day, the Model 7001 Water Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer (WVTR) is ideally suited for food packaging films, pharmaceutical packaging, and electronics packaging.

Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) is the measure of how much moisture passes through packaging material.  WVTR is an important property of packaging material especially in food packaging.  Breads and cookies need to be protected from moisture using high barrier WVTR materials.  Other applications where WVTR is important is in building materials such as house wrap.  It is important to keep a house free from outside moisture.  Therefore manufacturers of house wrap need to know the WVTR of their material.

Illinois Instruments also offers oxygen permeation analyzers, and headspace analyzers as well as permeation testing service.  Use the menu above to contact us to have your films tested for water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) or oxygen permeation rate (OTR).

Illinois Instruments’ Model 7001 Water Vapor Permeation Analyzer, WVTR, represents the ultimate in performance and simplicity of operation.

Precision balanced electronics and gas handling subsystems ensure only the highest levels of performance and repeatability available.

Computer controlled temperature and humidity simulate actual or investigative climatic conditions making the 7001WVTR ideal for testing and researching both current and newly formulated packaging film materials.

Calibration can utilize both NIST traceable gases and films for versatility of film to film comparison and reliability of analysis data.

Standard Windows® based software and complete control of test parameters make the Model 7001 the most precise, flexible, and easy to operate water vapor permeation analyzer of its kind.
 

Simple Sample Preparation

Simply cut the film to size and clamp it between the two test chamber halves. That's it.
