Physical testing / Vapor permeability

Packaging paper for a material to be kept dry must have a high resistance to vapor permeance. Vapor permeability is expressed by the mass of vapor that passes through a unit area of specimen at a certain temperature and humidity. This tester measures the quantity of water transmission. Test procedure: put silica gel in an aluminum cup, and close the cup with a specimen; leave them at 40℃, 90% RH for a certain span of time, to measure the mass (in grams) of vapor transmission. Vapor permeability is obtained by converting the measured result to a value per square meter of the specimen.
