Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of packages

This test is designed to measure the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of packages, such as cups, bottles, trays, and containers. The analysis includes three replica measurements.

This test is not suitable for films or sheet-like materials. Please see the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of films and sheeting instead.

Upon ordering, please specify the sample dimensions and desired testing conditions. The chosen temperature can be between 15 and 55°C and the relative humidity between 20 and 100% RH.
