Standards
Complies with: ASTM D3985, ASTM F2622, ASTM F1307, ASTM F1927, ISO 15105-2, JIS K7126-B, GB/T 19789.
Testing Principle
Oxygen flows across one side of the film, and nitrogen flows across the other side. The oxygen molecules permeate through the film and into the nitrogen side. They are then carried to the O2 sensor by the flowing nitrogen.
By analysing the oxygen concentration measured by the sensor, oxygen transmission can be calculated. When testing packages, nitrogen flows inside the packages, and oxygen flows outside the packages.
