Systech Illinois’ 8501 offers a cost Proven Accuracy effective solution for those who need accurate, uncomplicated measurement of oxygen transmission rates (OTR) through The data plot below illustrates that a test Many applications will find that a shorter permeable films. film of 340cc/100in2/day and a test run of 20 minute test routine will consistently 60 minutes yields only about produce reliable and adequate results. The 8501 features state of the art 8cc/100in2/day (2.3%) increase. This is electronics that allow the user to initialise compared to the 332cc/100in2/day sensed test or calibrate with the touch of a within the first 20 minutes. button. Scaleable analogue outputs allow the user flexibility when connecting to a chart recorder. Systech Illinois’ 8501 combines trace 8501 Test Data A standard RS232 port enables data oxygen sensitivity, rugged dependability, 400 logging capabilities.

This makes the test results traceable to current NAMAS With a purge time of only 30 minutes and / N.I.S.T. standards. test times as short as 20 minutes, the Easy to use software 8501 is a must for high volume production facilities. Although the 8501 is a stand-alone instrument, an RS232 port is provided for Typical Exported Excel® File connection to a PC. Supplied software allows users to data log to a file for download. Software is also supplied to Principle of Operation continuously display, on a graphical interface, the test progress and many other parameters of interest. The 8501 utilises our proprietary sensor The stored data can also be exported to a to detect oxygen transmission rates TEST FILM spreadsheet program such as Excel® or through flat film barriers.
