Critical permeability
of valves and tubes
Valves, filters, tubes and pipes can suffer from the often-
critical issue of vapours and gases permeating through the
materials they are made from. From the massive valves on
an oil pipeline to tiny carbon fibre tubes, this can cause
enormous problems, damage and product failure. Even by
itself, water vapour is the world’s most damaging contaminant
and causes billions of pounds of damage every year.
Permeability specialist Versaperm provides solutions through
its wide range of highly sensitive permeability meters, which
can check both the materials and the complete unit. Just
testing the materials can be misleading, as the manufacturing
process can change the vapour permeability of materials by
up to 400 per cent, so the finished component also needs
to be tested. The latest range of instruments is both precise
and simple to use. In some cases, results can be produced
in as little as 30 minutes, as opposed to the days or even
weeks needed by traditional gravimetric testing. Accuracies
are typically in the parts-per-million range (parts-per-billion
for some gases and materials), and the equipment is suitable
for general testing as well as QC, lab and system/product
development work.
