Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of packages

This test is designed to measure the oxygen transmission rate of finished packages, including cups, bottles, trays, and containers. Two replica measurements are included in the test price.

Temperature can be adjusted from 15 to 55 °C, and relative humidity can be either 0% or between 5 and 90% RH.

This test is not suitable for films. Please see the Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of films and sheeting.

Please specify the sample dimensions and testing conditions upon ordering.
